Crashes the closed Nvidia driver for me, and *that* is really bad, since
it's the only driver I can use, there is no other functional graphics
driver on my computer. I tried fbdev ("does not support EGA/VGA
planes"), vesa (graphics corruption), vga (8-bit depth max, totally
unusable), and of course nv, which has been broken since blocker bug
#182396, which nobody has looked at yet.
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/Xorg (xf86SigHandler + 0x82)
1: /lib64/libc.so.6
Hardware: x86_64, Nvidia GeForce 6800 GS 256
Software: Fedora Core/Extras/Livna Rawhide
==========
It did force me to find a workable non-nvidia solution, however. It
seems that doing: modprobe vga16fb, and then running the nv driver makes
it work (until I restart X, at which point graphics get corrupted
again). I also tried fbdev in between, maybe that matters.
