I was avoiding use of the vesa driver for some reason but I'll give it a |
| 22 |
try and see if I can get anywhere. Yeah, all my mother needs is a |
| 23 |
straight 2D environment. I'm not big on on-board video/audio/networking |
| 24 |
but for light use, it's ok. If she were to ever need something with more |
| 25 |
juice, I'd get a seperate 3D card anyway. |
