I really should leave this alone but I just can't resist. |

Actually, on this machine (with the keyboard problem) I still |
| 11 |
use a CRT. The reason is that I do a lot of image processing |
| 12 |
and I need cheap color fidelity. With an LCD, high fidelity |
| 13 |
color comes with an equally high price, but equally proficient |
| 14 |
CRT monitors are far less expensive. This CRT is a HUGE monster |
| 15 |
that weighs over a hundred pounds, but for the same price I could |
| 16 |
never find an equal LCD display. |

It also uses VGA input. Think of it! Fortunately, simple |
| 19 |
DVI-VGA adapters are still available. |

I have intended to switch to evdev, but, since things have |
| 29 |
been working effectively -- and this is a late model Core i7 |
| 30 |
based system -- I felt no pressing need. But your argument |
| 31 |
has convinced me to bring this task up a few notches in priority. |
