I have just installed native gentoo instead of colinux, so I emerged the latest nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx/kernel).
After some trouble to get X working, I have found a new wierd problem.
X starts fine now (with fluxbox) and Ii can use it, but when i want to kill X (I do it with CTRL+ALT+F1), the i get a black screen with some green squares.
Then I can't do anything else than CTRL-ALT-DEL!

See the monitor here: http://hamed.dk/untitled.jpg.

Don't know if this is the same problem but I had similar results recently, it was todo with having a framebuffer startup. Have you tried to set one up?

yeah, sounds like your framebuffer device isn't setup correctly. Might want to recheck your kernel config.

And I have framebuffer support en my kernel, my bad :)
But i'm compiling a new kernel right now, a kernel with nvidia framebuffer:

Code:

# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep FRAME
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set



# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep NVIDIA
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y
