The current system I'm playing with is pretty new LFS/BLFS, but I've had the same issue on previous attempts at using 7.0. Apart from X itself, the differences are mostly just a newer kernel (2.6.15.4 vs current 2.6.14), plus whatever has changed in LFS SVN since October. I don't think BLFS differences are relevant, since the problem occurs before anything other than X is installed. > Before, you simply switched modes to overcome the problem, correct?

Try disabling temporarily. No framebuffer - I've never had much luck getting it to work on an nVidia card, and I generally boot straight to X anyway (via gdm). > I also know that it's intermittent, but does the behaviour occur in any > other modes?

Ok, I can give that a try - particularly some of the smaller widescreen modes like 1400x1050 and 1280x960 in case it's the widescreen thing that's confusing it. Simon.
