Now that sounds unusual, any chance of a serial console?

A number of people have worked on the 3d/mesa/gallum driver for nv30/40

The latest person Luca Barbieri (lb1) did quite an impressive/substantial work

Since then no one has stepped in to develop/bugfix (with some exceptions) that
code, thus the lack of support

Sorry
