36 Have you tried a generic video drive to see if the problem is really related
37 to video/kernel? Whenever the video was going crazy because kernel
38 modules/settings/xorg and driver change, I just switch to VESA and see if it
39 works as it should. Then I can blame video drivers. VESA and no xorg.conf
40 was my way of testing it.
