 i think the simplest way to fix this for now would be to black list
 the newer nvidia cards that don't work -- the nvidia driver has a
 generic "made by nvidia, is VGA class" match routine, so it matches
 pretty much all nvidia pci-style GPus.  this _normally_ works ok as
 previously the newer cards worked "ok" if not well accelerated, but
 the newer ones fail at it...
 
 then vga would attach, and vesa graphics work, and on the high end
 nvidia cards, vesa is surprisingly fast and usable.
