Still have the latest kernel (2.6.6-1.435-2.3) and latest nVidia driver (6106) loaded. Still have the square of video garbage pointer; some menu item do no come up until move pointer over them as well. May've not mentioned this before. New information that the motherboards (2) are GemLight/DTK P6IDK/PRM00771, http://www.life-adventure.com/computers/product/gemlidk.htm, with that last DTK BIOS loaded to support larger hard drives and faster CPU speeds. Am using 2x iPII 266MHz each, 256mb RAM, Apollo Bloody Monster 3 nVidia FX 5200 128mb video, SB Live! v5.1, and NIC(s). ya-da-ya-da-ya-da. This information is also at the nVidia list for FC/Linux so don't pawn me off to them. The only warning/error I have is the bit about rivafb. All I want to try is to rebuild my kernel without the rivafb and/or with the vesafb. Not really using fb on these machines. Does anyone have a good "How To" step-by-step to get this accomplished?
