Hi all you smart folk. I've been trying to use the rivafb driver for my console, because I like 1024x768 console resolution, but dislike the slowness of the vesa framebuffer. Every time I start X and then switch to a text console, it begins to mess up (my cursor turns into 2 purple dots) and if I try to switch back to X the console is completely corrupted, forcing me to reboot. Is there a conflict that makes it incorrect to use a framebuffer text console and a different accelerated X console? Or is this a bug in the memory handling of the rivafb that makes it conflict with the NVidia accelerated stuff, OR can I not ask this here, because I'm using the unlicensed NVidia kernel drivers?
Thanks!
