 Only when we know nouveau works for all antique NVidia chip classes.

Why? If it can't do EXA on old chips and the server has no XAA support
any more, it's no use. You're better off with working vesa than broken
nv.

Ever tried to get VESA to produce 2048x1152, 1366x768, 1680x1050, 1600x900 or 1920x1080? Have you tried to buy a 4:3 display lately? Do all your CRTs work as well now as they did when new if at all? Are you familiar with what 1024x768 and 1280x1024 look like on a 1920x1080 display?
