Problems with X

NVIDIA is supposedly working on these problems, we have to wait for new drivers.
With the 0.9-769 driver I could only get 16BPP to work, and only at resolutions 1600x1200, 1280x1024, and smaller resolutions. With the 1.0-1251 driver I can run 24BPP or 32BPP but can only get 1600x1200 and 800x600 to work.
With the 0.9-679 driver, when switching to a virtual console from X the screen is blank. Usually bringing up a BIOS screen, for example Fn+F3, will show the BIOS screen and then escaping from it will reveal the virtual console (it may be dim though). The 1.0-1251 driver fixes this problem.
With the 0.9-769 driver, shutting down X produces the same problem as with the virtual console. The 1.0-1251 driver allows shutting down X just fine. However, the documentation explicitly says that restarting X will cause the machine to hang.
Don't suspend to disk while running X. After resuming from disk the machine will hang (it's not just blank like the virtual console problem). I couldn't suspend to RAM or to disk and resume properly with the 0.9-769 driver. With the 1.0-1251 driver I can sometimes switch to a virtual console while running X, suspend to RAM or disk, and resume properly, but not always and I haven't figured out exactly when it works. After successfully resuming the hard drive light is always on.
Using an external monitor does not work when in X, even when in 800x600 resolution. It works fine from a virtual console though. When in X the external monitor just shows colored bars.
