Hello,

some people reported strange behavior of nvidia-driver: after starting X the screen flickers shortly and then displays gibberish in text-mode. The system is still responsive, as one can login via serial console. XFree86.0.log stops at: (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"

I also experience this problem since I updated from 5.1-RELEASE to -CURRENT in order to try out ATAng (which works perfectly so far on my box). In contrast to other reports I am _unable_ to get a working nvidia-driver by changing AGP settings, even with NvAGP set to "0". 

My system is a Athlon XP 2400+ with SiS chipset. My graphics card is a GeForce FX 5200. -CURRENT is from yesterday (5.1-CURRENT #4: Fri Aug 29 22:41:20 CEST 2003).

I hope someone can give me some hints on how to get nvidia-driver working again.

Regards,
Julian Stecklina
