That's an nve0.  Support was added in v3.5-rc1~100^2^2~43
(drm/nve0/gr: initial implementation, 2012-03-13) and surrounding
commits.  Could you try a 3.5.y kernel from experimental and let us
know how it goes?

If it doesn't work, then we can work with upstream to fix it.  If it
does work, then we can try to backport the support for wheezy if you
have time to test patches.  Either result is a win.

Thanks for writing, and hope that helps.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
