I can boot into a console fine, but when I try to start X using the Nvidia binary drivers, I get a black screen and nothing else. I am unable to switch to virtual consoles, but the system is still fully responsive. I can ssh into the machine to do work on it at that point. The only way to get the console back is to reboot the machine. I am using the -testing branch at present. I have a Via 82xx Motherboard, and have AGPGART and the VIA driver (CONFIG_AGP and CONFIG_AGP_VIA) in my kernel config. The kernel is a xenified vanilla 2.6.10. Any ideas as to where to look and/or what more information you would like would be greatly appreciated. -- Jerome Brown Technology Architect Hub.Net P: +64 3 961-5116 M: +64 29 453 7663 F: +64 3 961-5129 E: jerome@hub.net.nz W: http://www.hub.net.nz/ O: Level 4, 818 Colombo St, Christchurch, New Zealand S: PO Box 1879, Christchurch, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
