Thanks all. I added "r128" which seemed the closest to what I actually have, |
| 64 |
and I'm now back running with everything coming up on reboot. I may fool with |
| 65 |
the proprietary driver, but it doesn't matter too much -- my use does not stress |
| 66 |
the video performance much. I just want it to work. |
