Hello,
Hope this is the right place to put this. I couldn't find any other information about this problem, at least nothing thats helped so far. I'm struggling to get the nvidia driver working fully on my Compaq Presario v6000 laptop with a GeForce Go 6150. More specifically.. I can startx with no problem, but when I come to shut X down (ctrl alt backspace), or switch to another terminal, i get screen corruption like this. At this point the only thing I can do is turn off.
I've had other distros working without this problem, so I assume that either other distros are using some older driver which works better (i'm currently using the latest installed via pacman), or they're using some crazy xorg.conf setting that I havent found?
Here's my xorg.conf if it helps; i haven't added anything particularly special to it. I'm also booting with noapic if that's relevant.

I'd appreciate any pointers anyone can give me. Many thanks.
