But when I test nvidiafb on my Toshiba Satellite laptop with 32Mb GeForce4
420Go, things are not so good : rivafb works OK for the last few 2.6.x
releases, but nvidiafb does not. With nvidiafb, I get a display shifted so
that the first column appears over near the right hand side of screen. The
first 4 columns also appear twice e.g. for login prompt "Toshiba login", I
see "ToshTosh login" over near the right margin of the screen. Using fbset
to display the resolution timings, I get different results between nvidiafb
& rivafb.
NB: no EDID is available for the LCD, so I usually pass in a mode like
video=rivafb:1024x768-60

Can you turn off debugging in both rivafb and nviidiafb?  Then, enable debugging
in drivers/video/fbmon.c by changing this line:

#undef DEBUG
to
#define DEBUG.

Then send me the dmesg for both nvidiafb and rivafb.

Thanks.
