Nothing AFAIK. I ran out of ideas to try. You can look through some of my
suggested patches and try some of them out, perhaps you'll get better results.
As I recall, Andrey had some success using xf86-video-nv and/or nvidiafb.

If you have the necessary skills, it shouldn't be *too* difficult to add a
*ton* of prints in dispnv04/* and nvidiafb and compare where they start making
different decisions about stuff.

Note that dispnv04/* should map pretty closely to xf86-video-nv -- that driver
was originally imported as nouveau into the kernel and then modified...
dispnv04 is the bits of it that were modified the least. [The details of the
history are a bit off there, but close enough... xf86-video-nv was first forked
as xf86-video-nouveau and *then* imported into the kernel...]
