Yup. rivafb + nvidia = bad

Funny, it works fine for me . . . and why is it a false choice? Perhaps I
want to spend most of my time in a 1600x1200 console, but still play games
(or use CAD, or various other things) in X with the full awesomeness of my
video card.
Regarding the OP:
$ uname -r
2.6.2-rc3
$ qpkg -I -v nvidia-kernel
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r1 *
Works very well for me in 2d--I haven't gamed much, but NWN works at least
for a short time. I'm also having no trouble switching from X to my
(framebuffered) consoles.
