Ahh...
The 4496 driver works perfect under X, but ................ when leaving X, either by going to console mode with CTRL-ALT-F1 .... F6 or when shutting down/rebooting, then I ALWAYS get the garbled colour full screen that Sid is mentioning.
I have just restored my Nvidia driver, after the kernel update from YOU (-100) and gcc-3.3.1-16. It was tedious (downloading those over a modem is slow), and previously gcc-3.3.1-0 failed. So, after recompiling the kernel, the nvidia install went very smoothly, but I used my existing /usr/share/doc/nvidia/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run, not the new driver. I new the old one worked for me, I wanted no experiments there :-)
I wonder why NVidia keeps silent about this; by now they should have recognized these complaints and minimally react in some way. Cheers,
