OK. How do I do the VESA drivers? Honestly, the only trouble I can |
| 22 |
recall out of nvidia was upgrading the kernel then rebooting and |
| 23 |
realizing I forgot to rebuild against the new kernel. I don't recall |
| 24 |
every having anything like this. The biggest GUI problem I can recall |
| 25 |
was hal and xorg. Let's not go down that road. < dale starts to steam |
