Adding a new device to nvidia driver

Hi! I’ve just added a new device id for my Intel Haswell gpu and works like a charm. I am going to push to Gerrit, however, I was so confident with this achievement that I decided to try with an old all-in-one with a laptop-like Nvidia, based on G98, in theory a supported core.

After adding the id in both the driver and the accelerant, it looks like the driver loads the card but only a stripe of somewhere 32 pixels is shown on top of the screen.

The VESA drivers detects native screen resolution properly, so It looks like EDID is working. What I am missing?

I am aware that I was a bit over-optimistic, but I would like to take this attempt (no matter the result) for learning about this kind of drivers.
