I confirm this the same is happening to me. I tried a bunch of kernels, from 2.6.5 to 2.6.8, patched and vanillas, nvidia- drivers 6111 and 61106. Ouch. I've forgotten to add my setup: I'm running gentoo, mobo:Chaintech 9cjs, i875 chipset vga: Chaintech GeForce FX 5900XT Ok. My apologies for false alarm, it was a hardware fault. The problem was in my crappy VGA card. As a last resort I've patched VGA-BIOS to downclock it to 300/600 and at this frequency xorg and twm from cvs are rock solid. The problem disappeared after upgrading to kernel 2.6.9 and new nvidia driver. |

I am using the NVIDIA driver 6111, Linux 2.6.8 (gentoo-r4) and X.org 6.8.0. When starting X, I get a lock up with a black screen. X can be killed with ssh, but ALT+F1 doesn't work.

Works without problems with the nv driver. I will provide more info if required.
