#8 nvidiafb: Doesn't Initialize/Recognize GeForce8600GT

[Anonymous]

Please forgive me if I'm making a fool of myself. I've never submitted a bug before...

nvidiafb: Doesn't Initialize/Recognize GeForce8600GT (0x0401). All I get is:

Device ID: 10dec0401
Unknown NV_ARCH

Or something really close to that (I'm not at my computer right now).

I've attempted to edit nvidia.c to add the hex device ID in, but it still doesn't initialize the board. Additionally, I've forced a return of NV_ARCH_40, which DID attempt to initialize the board, but upon initialization, I ended up with a frozen computer displaying the normal startup messages on a green background.

Let me know what else I can do to assist.
