Well, the installer worked fine, but then X didn't work... the system bumps
on that 1st X during boot-up, instead of getting the progress bar it was
coming back to text mode and then there was a lot of errors, and it didn't
come to a comand line... i've had to use the rescue-cd to make any changes
on /etc/X11/xorg.conf after that. After several trys, I've give up... the
result was always the same, and I put the "nv" module working again.

But that is not what i'm trying to solve now. I was hopping that somebody
had seen those crazy blank screens and knows what generate them.

Thank's
