I realized a broken framebuffer after the update to Lucid Beta2. Uvesafb supports more resolutions than vesafb - like 1280x800. Why did you use vesafb (instead of uvesafb)?
On fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linuxĭriver download page at I followed the instructions at the beginning of this topic.:( '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.

Well, i am one of those users who never install Nvidia drivers from repository, but manually - by downloading from Nvidia`s website.
