Gentoo 1.4 sound works (c-media), but when i start X, i get scrambled characters on a console-font screen. system still responds, login over network works, but VC's dont (ctrl-alt-f1, scroll-lock, alt-f2) no way i get to vc's it seems. only a reboot fixes it, killing X, xinit etc doues not help.
tried NVdriver with and without, with and without glx, with nv or nvidia, and combos of the above. using a Ti4400 in AGP, no onboard graphics. nvnet works, cmpci onboard sound works, just damned graphics.
