GeForce 4 MX have no working frame buffer at all..

Hi,

I have a GeForce 4 MX nvidia card and the framebuffer have never worked with no kernel  and no distributions.

Since I'm not completely newbie for compiling and configuring the the kernel and that even LiveCD have never a framebuffer and that, if I change my GeForce 4MX 440 card with a GeForce 4MX 460, the framebuffer works, I highly suspect a bug. (Like a serial number not present because this card is not so popular or this sort of thing)

Here's the lspci -vvvv output for the card :

Well, I hope that this will help you. Please tell me if you need mor informations or testing ( I can surely patch and recompile a kernel ).  If this mail is not sent to the correct mailing-list, I apologize for the disturbing, but.. can you help me to sent it to the correct ML ?

Thank you a lot
