Check and make sure you're not using framebuffer for anything in the kernel, eg. grep FB /path/to/kernel/config should return: # CONFIG_FB is not set (in 2.6.3+ it will return # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set as well). If you have any entries besides those two, you will need to reconfigure your kernel by disabling those entries, and then you will need to recompile your kernel and the Nvidia kernel module. Rivafb is a known no-go with the binary-only Nvidia drivers. The two enjoy stepping on each other's toes. Vesafb is more problematic because it "works" for some people some of the time. The last I looked at it I was seeing register stomping, but that was several revisions ago. HTH. -- Daniel T. Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key: www.sh.nu/~crimsun/pubkey.gpg.asc
