My back-up machine has an Nvidia card bought in 2001 & it shows the opposite behaviour to yours: it refuses to display anything before X starts, but does show the console data after X is stopped. I was never able to find out why & long ago accepted it was defective. It now has Mandriva 2005, as I couldn't see to install Slackware. Your best bet mb simply to buy another card. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [email protected] mailing list
