Along this road - the nv driver doesn't currenltly have EXA support as
of Xserver 1.3.  The ExaStatus wiki page doesn't include nv on the
roadmap, though there is a patch that has been bouncing around for a
while.  Manpage indicates that it supports only G8x series chips, but
I don't have one to test with, only G7x.

Is this the whole story?
