It's already done. I experimented with the fbdev and vesa drivers. The vesa is
the best for me. It is the fastest. 3D is not important to me, but I like to
have the possibility to use Ctrl-Alt-+ or -. And only the nvidia driver can
give me that. It is a pity that no one of the so called "modern OS" of today can
give the same 2D performances that an old amiga 2000 or even 500 was able to
give!
amd64 is new to me, so I used the .config from 64 studio as a basis. I still
have a lot of unneeded modules to remove from my kernel. When this is done, I
will give the nvidia driver another try. If it fail, I will just buy another
graphic card.
Ciao!
