My OpenGL screensavers have not been working with MDK 10 community.  After the timeout all I get is a black screen.  Non-GL modules are ok.  I had version 5336, so I upgraded to 6106 by compiling a new driver.

Just before compiling, a message was displayed indicating that the kernel (2.6.3) had been built with 'rivafb' as a module, and that it could keep the new driver from working properly.

I'm getting the same results with 6106 as with 5336 and think that may be my problem.  Can I disable rivafb, or do I have to rebuild the kernel without it?

TIA
