Well, That certainly took a long time to post.... Are we having list server problems again? Anyway, I tried not to do anything fancy. I am running debian unstable, but have left most everything to its defaults. The kernel I compiled, didnt put in fb support because people have mentioned conflicts with it. The same vid card works fine with RH7.3, so I stole the kernel and booted with that but get the same problems. (2.4.18 on both of them) When I get home I will take a look at what version some of those other things are.
