Subject: [gentoo-user] Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 and nvidia-drivers ==> Cannot switch to ttys or close X

I'm using a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D laptop with nvidia GeForse Go 6800:

| 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41.8 [GeForce
| Go 6800] (rev a2)


Latest available version of nvidia-drivers

| [I] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers (169.12@29/02/2008): NVIDIA X11 driver
| and GLX libraries

The X session loads smooth with no errors and no warnings but after X is
loaded there is no way to come back to the framebuffer console (pressing
CTRL+ALT+F* or closing the session).

I get an almost white screen with some distorsion. If I come back
pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 I see my X session up n running.
The same happens if I close my session and then write "startx" on the
white screen. I have a brand new session running with no problems and no
errors.

Here are some relevant parts of my kernel config:
