I use nvidia's 1.0-3123 drivers for displying on a 9.0 rc with kernel 2.4-17 (acpi turned on). I tried this manipulation also with the bundled kernel. When i enable tvout funcionnalities, i canot swith between tty and X : it freezes hard (X is locked, i don't have any trace that dthe kernel itself is down). When i turn off the tvout feature, the problem disappears. With previous drivers, it wasn't a problem to enable or not the tvout feature so i enabled it always. It seems now that they have added a testing if there is REALLY something connected to the cable. If not, the server locks up.
This is not really a bug, but since this problem may come from time to time on this list, nvidia users, be aware of this (new) problem. My 0.02 �cents. Stef
