nv1 hasn't had a native driver since XFree86 3.3.6.  Also I think I own
two-thirds of the world's collection of them by this point.  (The third
card being in a glass case at the NVIDIA office in Santa Clara.)

Technically the nv driver doesn't recognize 0x10b4 at all, so I'm happy
to let it continue to fall back to vesa.

Anyway.  nouveau patch in the server changed to special-case nv1 and nv3
onto vesa and nv, respectively.  Thanks!
