I have the full size (with pixel interpolation) virtual FreeBSD console being so nice for elder people like me reuiring eye glasses now :-) I have also running Redhat 7.2 running on that same Dell Inspiron that has the native NVidia driver but it has the drawback that the console is a pixel true centered 640x480 pixel screen on the otherwise 1600x1200 display and no fun to work with. (this may have changed under Linux again and I wasn't sure whether it was a configuration problem or something else) I will give the FreeBSD native driver project another try soon. -- Chris Christoph P.
