Hello all, I have solved the problem with the int10 module that I posted 2 weeks ago. The answer, (of course) is surprisingly simple. For those that didn't read the initial post, here is the specific problem:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Cannot map SYS BIOS
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Unable to initialize the XFree86 Int10 module; the console may
(EE) NVIDIA(0): not be restored correctly on your TV.
The reason for this is an option in the grsecurity patch to the Linux kernel;
do not enable the option that says
"Deny writing to /dev/kmem, /dev/mem, and /dev/port"
The mmap() call that is made when the video BIOS segment is initialized will
fail without write access to the video memory. Perhaps devfsd could be
configured to allow this write only to root when the X server starts.
Regards,
Brian
