The Pavilion dv2000 I have is just something my brother salvaged when
he worked at a computer repair shop so just luck of the draw as to how
it was equipped.  It was intended to be part of the test rig for PR
kern/52440, but the graphics card is not something the nouveau kernel
driver knows about at all, let alone work with MSI.

Hmm.  Might have to try that myself and see how it behaves on this
machine.
