NVIDIA 6111 driver and console mode

[Purvis Robert]

Is this also a problem if Xvfb is being used? I use Xvfb as a virtual
screen when building png files from a Java web application.

I was refering to the Console Framebuffer. Which is normally used when
you boot into init 3. It's a kernel commandline setting.

The one in XF86Config.cfg or xorg.cfg shouldn't be touched. They are
present in my config files, and it works as it should.
