I guess that makes sense. I only wish that X.org had waited until the nouveau
driver was more mature (such as support for interlaced video modes) before
dropping support for nv. nv has a niche that cannot be easily filled by any
other driver, as my situation illustrates. And the lack of response to my bug
report is also disappointing.
