Disabling the framebuffer is a good idea, but 'nvidia' means the
non-Free binary drivers. Unfortunately, XFree86 in woody doesn't
(AFAIK) support GeForce4's with the Free nv driver, so Aedificator will
have to install either 4.2 from testing (maybe built from source) and
use the Free 'nv' driver or go and get the non-Free drivers (using
nvidia-{kernel,glx}-src from sid) and use 4.1 with 'nvidia'.
