Good Q Helge, see this big dummies .config snippets:
[root@coyote linux-2.6]# grep FRAME .config CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y [root@coyote linux-2.6]# grep VESA .config CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
Since the card is an NVIDIA GForce2 MX200, and X is using its own "nv" driver, which one should I turn off?
Thanks.
