So as long as you don't have one of these > older cards then running the Nvidia driver appears to be OK. But is it not the clue here that my maskine having trouble with two drivers consistant, and not knowing who to choose for the kernel? And the fact that my kernel has "rivafb" built as a static part of it and not a module. That would make a conflikt when the two at the same time is running and trying to conekt to my card, a NVidia GeForce 2 GTS, as whould be when "rivafb" is the old kernelpart to suport my kard, and I am forcing my pc to use the new "nvidia" module. I am still asking for anyone knowing a way to get my "rivafb" part of my kernel out of there, when not being a module, and still conserve the rest of my kernel as it is? Is there any possibilities doing this under the installation? My system is preatie fresh and a reinstalation is considered. I whant to thank all taking part in this topic.
