This doesn't work for me. If I have the nvidia FB compiled in, then nvidia |
| 22 |
module fails to load long before local.start seems to be called. |

You can't have the nv driver providing the console frame buffer, then load |
| 26 |
the nvidia driver. If you do that, you have two different modules laying |
| 27 |
claim to control of the video hardware, thus causing the second one to fail |
| 28 |
to load.. If you want support for different video modes and boot splash etc, |
| 29 |
use the vesafb, then your nvidia driver should load. |
