Unfortunately, the driver does not seem happy: Jan 18 12:56:38 pma kernel: [ 0.491073] nvidiafb 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Jan 18 12:56:38 pma kernel: [ 0.491507] nvidiafb: Device ID: 10de0a20 Jan 18 12:56:38 pma kernel: [ 0.491546] Chipset is 10de0a20 Jan 18 12:56:38 pma kernel: [ 0.491584] nvidiafb: unknown NV_ARCH Jan 18 12:56:38 pma kernel: [ 0.492119] vga16fb: initializing > One thing that could happen, however, is missing ctxprog for your chipset.

(and found out how to do that even now, after X update with vesa driver).
