On one machine with a Nvidia GE Force 7100 GS graphic card the option ,,nomodeset" or even ,,i915.modeset=0 nomodeset" does not work. Whatever I try I cannot bring the screen up.

Trying ,,tazpkg get-install nvidia" does not help either. Is it possible to use cooking with another kernel? May be naive, I am not a technician.
