Jens,

(Sorry it took so long.)

nVidia holds the interesting specs private. I don't know if fbcon is
possible without the programming information (tho it may be possible).
I've tried vesafb, just for kicks, and I was unsuccessful.

If you like, see the Riva Enlightenment Project's web site at

http://web.chad.org/dev/riva-tnt

for a campaign to nVidia for programming info.
