Great work, Im all for progress, but in general what is "legacy hardware"
how are users of the binary nvidia driver effected?
eg im confused if I have a recent nvidia card Eg 560 series, does the "new"
xorg work as expected or is this legacy hardware because it does not
support KMS?
so far as I know KMS for intel is in 9.1 and there is some sort of start on
KMS for ATI in HEAD... but nothing yet for Nvidia.
