First post on kerneltrap.org from the Linux - 2.6.9 public announcement: "nVidia 6111 driver doesn't work with it" There are a couple of patches, including one for (from?) Gentoo, in subsequent child posts. http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4022 I don't know if this condition has been fixed in 2.6.10 or not. For that matter, it may not even be the issue you are experiencing, but your plight twigged my memory. HTH, Curtis S.
