And both nvidiafb and vga16fb are known make Nouveau misbehave: nvidiafb because it messes up the card state, and vga16fb because it does not do the fb driver hand-over, AFAIK. Relevant or not, I'd like to advertise our new troubleshooting page: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting I'm also adding the CCs that were dropped earlier. Was the original question in this thread about nvidiafb or Nouveau? Thanks. --=20 Pekka Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/
