[ale] system freezes

[James P. Kinney III]

I've had some weirdness/stability problems with the nvidia drivers. It

Which make sense. For an unknown reason, I get 2 boot time penguins. If

Keyboard, mouse and network all lock up. The console cursor is a huge
ugly box about 3 lines tall. I'm compiling a new kernel without
framebuffer right now.

But tuxracer looks great on a Riva TNT2! My 3 year old can sit in my lap
for hours and tell me how to turn. :)
