Ok, I just tested with -7.  **Big disaster**  I could not have any video,
not with the nv options listed before, not without them, not with the
vesa driver.  I had to downgrade back to the sarge version.

Since there are different machines here, I'll test it on a different one,
but this is clearly RC.

This is the lspci of the machine I'm sitting at right now:
