Raphaël: I tried adding nouveau.noaccel=1 and it worked. However, I 
think it is not the best.

I tried and it was not installed. After I installed it, it worked!

I have to say that previously, I followed another advice that was to 
install firmware-misc-nonfree, I don't know if that had an impact at the 
end (just with this one, there was no benefit).

Note: I chose Mate and after some time, I had the login screen and after 
the login, I've lost mouse clicks, they are no effect. I can't have any 
action with it on the desktop.
