Re: [2.4.2-ac5] X (4.0.1) crashes

[Erik DeBill]

I'm having no problems with 2.4.2-ac6, using XFree86 4.0.2 and the
included nv (nvidia) driver.  Works great with my geForce2 GTS,
without any binary only drivers.  4.0.2 seemed to have improved
support for nvidia chips.

If it's any help, I'm also using the rivafb for console (although not
for X).
