Description bay 2007-10-05 16:38:56 UTC
Last unmasked version of driver(100.14.09) has a bug when works together with vesafb.
I got genkernel installed and running fine durring boot. However once x.org loads on tty7, if I switch to any of the other terminals I find that the framebuffer has offset the screen so that parts of what should be visible are, for lack of a better explaination, rendered outside of my monitor's viible area. I've tried different framebuffer resolutions, none fix the problem however each resolution sems to offset the framebuffer completely new ammounts and in different directions. I'm running x86_64 with an nvidia 8600gt. The offset happenes right about the them the Nvidia logo shows up.
When i quit x.org my screen turns blank and only reboot is posible.
The problem is also appears on nvidia 8400GT and 8500
In 100.14.11 this problem solved.


Reproducible: Always

What do you want unmasked? There's no masked nvidia-drivers version anywhere.
