Yeah you can. nv isn't a kernel module though, it's just an Xorg driver, still using UMS. To use it, 1) Blacklist nouveau and nvidia 2) Install xf86-video-nv 3) Set Driver to "nv" in xorg.conf And, even if nv doesn't work for you, there's always xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev. > Ciao, > > -- > FA > > O tu, che porte, correndo si ? > E guerra e morte ! > -- Tavian Barnes
