Getting the penguin on linux 2.6
After three days of browsing various leads posted here[1], I
managed to get my spare computer running on linux 2.6 and
nVidia's binary-only video drivers (installed with the help of
the non-free "nvidia-graphics-drivers" packages).
Everything seems to be functional, including chromium, tuxracer
and armagetron. My only remaining problem is getting the
framebuffer console to work. I can get the console to work if I
don't enable framebuffer at boot time, i.e. if I boot without the
penguin mascot;-).
Any pointers? FWIW I built my 2.6 kernel using a
framebuffer-capable /boot/config-2.4* saved (with no user-addled
changes) thru "make gconfig".
