Nvidia support

[Iain Stevenson]

I haven't:

- followed this thread
- a nvdidia card
- a big display

.. but, does the nvidia card work in accelerated mode from the console? 
For example, can you use fbset to change the video mode?  If you can, set a 
mode you like and use Xautoconfig4 to generate a new X configuration file.
