The X session loads smooth with no errors and no warnings but after X is
loaded there is no way to come back to the framebuffer console (pressing
CTRL+ALT+F* or closing the session).
I get an almost white screen with some distorsion. If I come back
pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 I see my X session up n running.
The same happens if I close my session and then write "startx" on the
white screen. I have a brand new session running with no problems and no
errors.
I'm afraid I can't provide any help on this, but wanted to mention that I
experience exactly the same behaviour with my GeForce Go 6800 (TurboCache).
And this is not only for the current driver, but has been the case ever since i
own this notebook (it's an Acer Travelmate 4150LMi). The nvidia driver version
at the time I got it was 1.0-7184, and was already broken back then.
I would really love to see a solution for this, since not being able to leave X
is pretty annoying.
I should mention that on this system I have Debian installed, and used
kernel.orgs vanilla kernel + nvidia driver from their homepage ever since.

Patric
