the lspci output is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Vanta [NV6] (rev 15)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev
04)

also, with CONFIG_FB disabled, in X, (using the "nv" driver), I get random
images thrown all over the screen... if an html page is loading in the
background, I'll portions of gifs/jpegs all over my screen, or the
toolbars, scroll bars, etc...
