Of course that would be great, but (correct me if I'm wrong) if we do
that (point 1), we will change the EXA Xorg interface, therefore, we
will have to update all X drivers and that will also make a lot of
updates.

For the second solution, I definitely don't know enough either Xorg or
nouveau to know if that would be easy or not.

Anyway, getting Nouveau in Lenny and a half doesn't look to be easy but
it would be a great improvement for Nvidia user.
