I have tried xf86-video-nv 2.1.0 on a Geforce 7300 but Xrandr seems to
fall back on randr 1.1 on Debian Sid.

I get the following output:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200
default connected 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1600x1200      60.0*
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0 
   1280x960       60.0 
   1152x864       75.0 
   1024x768       75.0     70.0     60.0 
   832x624        75.0 
   800x600        75.0     72.0     60.0     56.0 
   720x400        70.0 
   640x480        75.0     73.0     67.0     60.0 
   1600x1024      60.0 
   1400x1050      75.0     70.0     60.0 
   1440x900       60.0 
   1280x800       60.0 
   1280x768       60.0 



Does this mean that the driver supports RandR 1.2 only on Geforce 8xxx?
