The same here with XFree 4.2

I wanted to try the CVS version out, but it doesn't compile for me and just
exchanging the drivers gives a protocol version mismatch, but ...
I'm now running with the nv driver from 4.2 and is much more stable than
NVdriver, but it doesn't play videos in XV mode for me :( New in 4.3 is the
extended flat panel support, I think.

Back to topic: I think I saw some posts on the NVdriver list about PM
issues, but didn't read them for real.
