I already tested it with the 2.4.20 Kernel but there it is the same probmem. I have the same problem with Distributions like SuSE. The graphic card in the Notebook is a GeForce 4 Go with 32 MB of RAM. If I plug a Monitor on the Notebook it shows a black screen too. I tried to change the picturefrequence and the driver from nv to nvidia but nothing helps. IMHO this is a problem with the nvidia-binaries. I have the same problem with my Geforce2 Go on my laptop with the actual driver version nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3. I do not have the problem with any older driver like nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3. So I emerge nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3 with the appropriate nvidia-glx, removed nvidia from virtual/opengl and the world file. This answer is most likely the correct one. I am using 2.6 without framebuffer and cannot use (cannot see to be specific) the console after starting X until the machine is rebooted. Running 2.4 doesn't fix the problem. I will try this solution myself and report back if it succeeds. Have downgraded nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel to 4363 and everything is working again. A better way to keep the packages at that version is to modify /var/ cache/edb/world to from: media-video/nvidia-kernel media-video/nvidia-glx to: =media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3 =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4363 Thank you for the hint. This is correct for normal world updates, but for deep world updates I have a dependency on virtual/opengl, so I have to edit the virtual file, either by changing to the exact version or just by deleting it. Maybe adding the version is somewhat cleaner, but when I want to try a new version, nvidia-glx is added automatically to world and virtuals. I need to edit these files only if it does not work.
