Can you try this driver rewrite for nVidia chipsets? I'm planning to add
this driver because it's getting harder and harder to support newer chipsets with
the old code.

- based on the most recent Xorg nv driver
- supports console acceleration via DMA instead of PIO
- should support all chipsets supported by rivafb except for 
  Riva128 (NV_ARCH_03) and in theory should also support
  NV_ARCH_30 and NV_ARCH_40 chipsets. I've already added
  a few pci_ids for these newer chipsets.

The reference file that I based the driver on seems to have better DVI
support, so hopefully this works.

You have to disable rivafb in your kernel config.  The module name is
nvidiafb and boot options are very similar to rivafb:

video=nvidiafb:<your options>

This is a preliminary patch, but it should be almost as functional as rivafb.
