Ok, I tried the free NV driver and it's running, but I still have a problem 
- I have no login screen! I can ssh -X to my LB machine and run X programs

signal).
I suspect I have missed some silly config option somewhere.
    

See http://linuxbios.org/VGA_support, that should fix it.

You probably need
  option CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1
  option CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1
but they seem to be enabled by default for this board(?)

(I assume this is not onboard-graphics but a PCI/AGP/PCI-E card?)


HTH, Uwe.
I already use the two options you mention with no difference. I assume that for an "add on" card that's all I need. My card is a BFG 8600GTS.
