I dunno what you mean with DKMS love, (I'm not entirey new to Linux
but have been mainly a Windows guy) but as long as it fixes it, it's
OK with me. I'm just looking at bug 59618 and if you see that
discussion, you see what I mean. This is one of my big grudges: just
getting standard hardware is a pain, and keeping it running takes a
half a day at a time. I still don't have a working configuration, and
still trying to figure out what xforcevesa is supposed to do. I'm
afraid there's one more bug: once you install Mythbuntu from a LiveCD,
and are forced to use safe mode graphics, grub has this as a standard
option, and you end up using vesa all the time. As a matter of fact,
this may be the source of all my hell.

So, as soon as I've understood how to read a menu.lst, I might even be
able to confirm to this, as I will be forced to build a new kernel for
my Digital Everywhere FloppyDTV card. I will have to go through this
again I think.

Thanks anyway that you spend time on it!
