 That gave the error "Unknown parameter "NVreg_UseVBios" on boot and
also made the system hang on bootup. Perhaps this option doesn't work
with the 96.xx drivers?

- From my own testing here's some conclusions I've come to.
1) This is not a problem with the Nvidia binary driver. I can
reproduce this with the "nv" driver as well
2) However, this may specific to Nvidia cards as I couldn't reproduce
it with Intel graphics
