Hi,

Just installed the current NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA site.
Everything works good (3D games, mplayer videos).

I have a laptop with GeForce4 and the problem is that since I installed
the nvidia driver I can't switch to tty1-6. I mean, I can switch to the
console with Ctrl-Alt-Fn but there's nothing displayed there. 

I can blindly login and go back to tty7 and the /var/log/messages tells
me that I logged in on tty1 (or 2-5). But the screen is dark.

I tried all kinds of "vga=xxx" in my lilo.conf but after the nvidia
driver is loaded my console screen is dark. When I disable the nvidia
driver everything is ok on console.

Is there a way out of this? I'll have to do a presentation of Linux
features tonight and I'd really like to show the console benefits but I
have to keep the nvidia driver because those guys are also gamers.
