OK That's informative, thanks.

Does it help to know that the vesa driver exhibits the same behavior?
(The nv driver still doesn't work at all with this card--Quadro NV140M.)

I will try to play with the nvidia binary driver sometime.  I'm pretty
sure, however, that when I had F7 on the machine, the nvidia driver also
behaved the same way.  (I do recall that I couldn't change screen
brightness with that driver.)  Will try to verify.
