Yes, specifically the GT 240 DDR5 has this problem. It does not work at all with nouveau. The problem has been known since January 2011 at least, but nobody bothered to actually look into it, the GPU isn't even blacklisted in nouveau. That means every Linux (every somewhat recent Live CD or whatever) locks up on boot, if you have this GPU. The only output I ever got from nouveau developers was that it "should work".
As long as stuff like this is common (and it is!), the open source drivers cannot be taken seriously, IMO.
