   That was my first thought, then I saw there was a xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/=
 Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv directory and xsrc/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nv/=
 .  The xsrc/xorg/... directory seems to be an older version of what's in pk=
 gsrc (which contains a lot of new g80* .c and .h files).  Is there any docu=
 mentation on how these two directories work together?
