Guys, To add to the nvidia issues, after update to the latest driver (nvidia 260.19.12-1) the machine stops during boot due to (Invalid video mode, press enter to see list....) Pressing enter then lists the available modes. However, when I enter one of the listed modes, it is rejected and I get prompted again with the (Invalid video mode, press enter to see list....). I don't know whether this is a bug, a KMS thing, or what, but I have never had any problems passing vga=0x31a on the kernel line with the nvidia driver before. (I know with ATI, KMS early is recommended, and no vga= on the kernel line) Is anybody else seeing this? Should I just remove the vga= line? After letting the (Invalid video mode, press enter to see list....) prompt time-out, it all continues fine and the nvidia driver loads without issue. What say the experts? -- David C.
