I don't want this to fall between the cracks. Has someone decided what |
27 |
should be done and taken steps to make sure it is done? I didn't file a |
28 |
bug report because I don't know what all else this will affect. I read |
29 |
it affects more than just video drivers. According to someone else, |
30 |
there are some packages that benefit/need this as well. |

I just don't want someone else to go through what I did. I even bought |
33 |
a new monitor because I thought it was messed up or something. |
