ahh good idea. my card is the 5700 ultra and i used the nvidia gf4 generic driver.. the bootsplash displays fine, but even with the VGA16 boot option anything after the bootsplash doesnt display any good, and at that point i think its using just a base vesa driver or some such, i didnt choose GF4 generic until the X config. with the vga16 option it does 640x480 at 16bit color, lol its sad that that displays wrong
