What does "the font doesn't resize" mean exactly and how's that looking errorneous to you? What font are you even talking about? Since you're talking about the framebuffer, you're probably talking about the text console font? Does that even matter (i.e. are you using the text console)? AFAIK, nvidia-drivers don't have framebuffer support at all. In order to have a graphical console on bootup, you need to configure other framebuffer drivers in your kernel. I think the suggested one to use in combination w/ nvidia-drivers (the combination matters for switching between X and console) is vesa or vesa-tng. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
