Description Frank Sweetser 2000-01-24 00:02:55 EST 
When the framebuffer devices are enabled in the kernel, the screen is
constantly "snowed" in in text mode.  X is similarly scrambled, and
essentially useless.  Recompiling the kernel without framebuffer support
fixes the problem.

relevant bit of lspci -v

The nvidia frame buffer + X server combination isnt supported.
Either use nvidia X and text mode or frame buffer and XFree86_fb (unaccelerated)

I believe this is supposed to get fixed by 2.4
