It wasn't like that until very recently (that is, it started happening after with kernels from maybe the last couple of weeks). Just to try something different, I installed the "beta" NVIDIA driver (100.14.09) (I disabled the #error directive in header file). It works; it doesn't reboot anymore, although I cannot switch to a text mode ttyv. My card is a GeForce Fx Go5200. Juan
