The standard "old" VESA VGA not enabled? |

|
| 104 |
You have a BIOS based system. You might want to enable it and recompile. |
| 105 |
If memory is correct ... the console and X terminals need it ( or the |
| 106 |
EFI variant for UEFI based systems ). |

It should not interfere with the nvidia drivers. |

Look for this option as well : |

Nvidia has really changed since my last Nvidia based card. |
