Hello,
I've since gotten this working, thanks to the help of Dmitry Torokhov: ----- This is what I have for my GeForce2 Go. Actually I think what hurts you is FB_VGA16, not RIVA.. Still, if you using vesa like I do there is no point compiling rivafb (and If you using nVIDIA's binary driver rivafb usually conflicts with it). ----- I had the wrong drivers loaded.. My question now is where would I have been able to disable the "native driver"? I don't recall seeing this in the .config file.
TIA,
Bobby
