Sorry I let this message go when still incomplete.

Norberto,

Thanks for your reply. I note that your question seems to concern XF86,
although the trouble occurs before it is in operation. At any rate, here is
the relevant excerpt of /etc/XF86Config:

Section "Device"
    # no known options
    Option "CrtcNumber" "1"
    Identifier   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
        Driver       "nv"
        VendorName   "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
        BoardName     "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX (generic)"
       =20
        #BusID
EndSection

It seems that the driver in use is not fbdev. I am awaiting your comments.

Charles
