Slightly off topic but is there any progress on the Nvidia Geforce front
that you know of? I tried your 2.4.8 kernel (and XFree stuff) just in
case, but video=rivafb sill puts the monitor in standby mode (novideo
does at least let you use the console, though not X). I've been
tracking ben's kernels and the BK kernels fairly closely but haven't
seen any that work with the geforce card. This is on a 733 powermac G4
with the superdrive (PowerMac3,4)
G++
