If you are not doing the script updates, then you are not running a stable system.  Please
do all the script updates, then reboot your system.

Seems the driver you are running doesn't know which chip is on the Gfx card.
Perhaps you should add ~x86 to nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.

FWIW - I have to restart X - ^ALTDEL, about 3 times to get a visible display with

		they'll get a new bios out for it.  But once started it runs fine at 1280x1024.
		I even get 3D acceleration.
