Linux lap top display problem



I have a Gateway Solo 9550 with a Nvidia GeForce2 Go Graphice card.  After the install I could not get X to run properly.  It would give me a bunch of colors and no real display. I downloaded and installed two rpms from the Nvidia site and was able to get the display to work.  Now my problem is once I startx and then try to ctrl alt F1,2,3 etc to get to a text screen the text is small and centered in the screen.  In other words it seems like it only wants to use about a 6x6 inch section of the screen.  Any suggestions?  I have checked www.linux-laptops.org and found no help. 
 
Also, when I did a "crt alt backspace" out of X,  the screen would go black and I would have to reboot.  I put a option "noaccel" in the xconfig file and that seems like it helped that problem.
 
Thanks
