An earlier commit broke AGP. That commit went into 3.17, I believe. The commit
you bisected to restored AGP.

Please test out kernel 4acfd707^ -- I think that was the commit that broke
things... maybe. If that still doesn't get you acceleration, just try 3.16.
Basically I'd like to figure out if there was a time when acceleration *and*
the cursor worked all at the same time, and if so, to figure out when that
broke.

The nv30 GL driver is pretty crappy, sorry. Especially for actual nv3x cards
(vs nv4x ones). Lots of ways to mess things up. Also note that this card was
released in 2003-2004 -- its hw capabilities (even with a hypothetical
well-written GL driver) won't be a good match for software written for 2014.

In any case, my recommendation is to tackle one issue at a time. Mouse cursor
trumps GL compositors in my mind. When that's resolved, you can file more bugs
for your other issues.
