Post subject:  R5A15 green blocks after installing nvidia drivers

I get green blocks whenever I exit X after installing the nvidia drivers (install-nvidia-xxxx-debian.sh) on R5A15. My video card is a GeForce TI4200 and I believe I installed the nvidia drivers correctly on the R4V5 without a problem, but for some reason everytime I exit X on R5A15 with the nvidia drivers installed all I get is green blocks. I tried both scripts that were available 6xxx and 7xxx and currently am using vga, not TV out to configure.

Everything seems to work fine if I don't install the nvidia drivers.

edit lilo.conf and change

vga=791 (or something like that)
to
vga=normal

then run lilo -v

then reboot should fix you right up. The problem is that nvidia drivers don't like the framebuffer.

Thanks!

That actually fixed two problems I had, initially I thought the text was too small to see on the TV with the default size, now I can read it and configure it with a TV.

Will try running the box for a week and then moving on to installing a wireless card (DLink 520--should work with madwifi).
