When I first had trouble modprobing rivafb, and it wasn't finding the device, I figured it was cause of "nvidia".. later realized it was because of "vesafb", oh well.... Anyway, I got rivafb to actually work pretty well, most of the problems were solved with a small modification made from the X nv source, and now only these problems are left: 1. When switching from X back to console, there's still the ugly X cache visible, to fix all what is needed is a ^L or switch to tty2 and back (ie, "refresh" the screen)... not a serious issue, but a little annoying. 2. Still no boot up penguin. :( Strangely, the black bar where its supposed to be still exist... I'm clueless. Since those are the only 2 problems left, I am now preparing a patch to send here... stay tuned... - ods15
