The Xnvidia server is a total sham (I should know, I wrote it).  It detects 
only one specific PCI ID and then doesn't even accelerate that because 
writing acceleration code for nVidia is pretty much impossible due to the 
complete lack of documentation or any semblance of comprehensible code in 
the available "open source" drivers.

If anyone wants to take a stab at getting acceleration working, that would 
be great.  I don't have any nVidia hardware myself, nor do I plan on 
getting any in the future as I really can't do X server development without 
hardware documentation.
