I'm using 1541 + vesafb successfully so I doubt it's that.
Have you tried just grabbing the tarballs direct from nVidia's servers and
installing them by hand? Works everytime for me. That said, I haven't used
2.4.12 - I'm languishing back in the "good ol' days" of 2.4.9 - not sure if
that makes any difference.
Good luck,
David.
