No joy, I seem to have the same issue with 6111. BTW I had to download
and install the nvidia drivers manually as 6111 and 6106 both give this
error if you use atrpms.
nvidia: Unknown symbol __VMALLOC_RESERVE
the fix is to unpack the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run and edit
nv.c by adding the following line below the Global state comment.
unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE;
I also tried Jarods tip of adding, which did nothing.
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt"
I will drop the FC2 hard drive back in an see if I get the same
behavior.
