I just get blank screen (even without EDID detection via riva-i2c). Around the timeframe when 2.6.3 or so was current, XFree86 'nv' used to work without any kernel side framebuffer device, but the more recent one from Debian 'testing' does not work anymore; I am suspecting this is a problem with XFree86 not rivafb or nvidiafb framebuffer problem so it may not be of interest to this list. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
