Hello,
I got an nVidia GeForce Go 7200 on an AMD64 X2 laptop.
1. My tty's problem was solved using instructions in MOM2007's post.
But I was using vesafb & fbcon modules only, ie. I didn't use
nvidiafb module.
2. A while ago I did tried to use nvidiafb instead of vesafb, but I
got problems similar to what 'gwi' has mentioned. So I just
disabled 'nvidiafb'
3. For X, I use nvidia-glx driver and NOT the nvidia-glx-new, as the
nvidia-glx-new caused hangups on my laptop even if I disable compiz
stuff.
4. With the nvidia-glx, I was not able to use compiz, because with
compiz enabled, if I switch to a tty then back to X, I would just
get a mouse pointer over a black screen and that's it, sometimes I
even can't switch back to the tty, and even if I can, after few
moments the laptop would hangup.
5. Anyways, I gave it a try to add nvidiafb to the fbcon & vesafb
modules, and it was fine, I was even now able to get compiz
working ! Now, I am thinking to test nvidia-glx-new again with
nvidiafb module loaded.
