i have to switch off hardware acceleration on the nvidia
G72M on my lenovo with plan 9, but i don't notice a problem
when using it.  (it does use hw cursor.)
of course, the 1,253 lines of code in aux/vga/nvidia.c
is just to get the device set up.
that's the trouble with sophisticated hardware.
if your particular one doesn't cause trouble with the hwaccel on,
9/pc/vganvidia.c will use fill and scroll, but that's about it.
(hw cursor can be selected separately.)
