Thanks for the reply, m8...
And my apologies for non-sufficient information... :\

You might need to adjust manually for the mouse pointer or something if you require the use of the wheel, etc.

Should have mentioned that bit, I guess. Framebuffer is set-up
and working ... XF86Config-fb has been copied. And the bloody thing
still dies.

I am certain I have seen posts here in regard to the nVidia drivers. I think they are offered directly from the web site, nVidia.com. Download the tar files, compile and install.

Tried that, too... same effect.
Compiled a custom-kernel too. With only the most essential
stuff - with either VESA-VGA or nVidia support.
Ta ...
What really gets me is that the framebuffer in Slack 8.0
worked :(
