the grass is always greener! having spent quite a bit of time trying
to get nvidia's nforce 430 chipset with integrated graphics working,
so far with no success, i'm pretty sure that nvidia's documentation
is similar to ati's -- read the xfree86 driver. unfortunately in the case
of the nvidia driver, there are several real bugs in the xf86 driver (like
stuffing a 0x480 into an 8-bit register with one bit of overflow and
stuffing 0x100 into a different 8-bit register with no overflow.)
by the way, i am having some trouble with the virge driver that seems
to have cropped up lately

the 1019 aux/vga gives the error "virge: pclk 79000000 out of range".
the vid/did are 5333/5631. i'll attach aux/vga -p.
i scanned the source code changes but nothing jumped out at me.
