Nope. It's definitely the i386 version :(

It's certainly plausible that I'm just one of the few people who lost the hardware-software-compatibility lottery this time around.

It's builtin to the laptop: GeForce Fx5200Go. (I maybe rearranged some name-fragments by accident.)

I'm having similar problems, I believe it has to do with the NVIDIA driver. I started from a fresh install and it worked fine untill I installed NVIDIA driver 1.0-6629. Perhaps I will try one of the older versions, or compile a new kernel.

I'm getting kinda sick of the FC Nvidia problems.

I had the exact same problem with a Dell Inspiron 8000 with the Geforce2go. My solution was to boot with the rescue disk, change the inittab to boot with runlevel 3, reboot, and reset the xorg config file to use the default stock driver nv, reboot, change the inittab to runlevel 5 and everything was fine.

The problem was the driver from nvidia that I had installed and compiled in FC1.
