So far, I've determined the problem also happens when I boot a 32-bit
system, and it goes partly away when I add the noaccel option.

If I add noaccel, I get a dark grey background, with very dark gray or
black letters on it. It's readable if you can guess what is written,
like boot messages.

xorg works fine (using the nv driver), and the strange part:

once I've switched from Xorg to a console (ctrl-alt-F1), the console
looks fine. Also, if I leave X11 after having switched to a console and
back to Xorg, the console looks fine.

I hope this jogs someone's memory - I basically trying blind. Anyone
care to guess what goes wrong? I didn't think the 7600 was such an
exotic card...

Kind regards,
Jurriaan
