Oops; forgot the kernel message; they are here: http://codepad.org/tKIxN5H2 The last message is from when I unbinded nouveaufb. You can see that my default console is the VGA one. As a small update, compiling in fbcon doesn't help anything. I haven't managed to compile in nouveau yet; there's something in the dependency chain somewhere that's modularized, and I haven't tracked it down yet. --xsdg
