So I am beginning to see. However, Kubuntu-6.06 was working well, but not update able to the 2.4 emc. > How did you do the upgrade?

Even that was a problem, I had to do a cut and splice of the little rubber belt in the dvd reader in order to get it to load and unload the tray. Old age & heat, so I took about 1/8" out of the belt & super glued the cut ends together again. > Any problem you see is probably with the > Linux kernel rather than EMC2 (You could, in theory step back to 8,04 > and install EMC2 2.4.3 on that.

I know its part of it, without an xorg.conf file, it uses the radeon driver, and I have found the vesa driver is a requirement for emc. I have posted to the xorg list to see if someone there can give me a hint about forcing the vesa driver. > If you want to upgrade hardware anyway, the Intel D510MO board is > small, cheap, silent, and works well with EMC2 using the onboard > video and other peripherals. And this is size compat with a medium tower case? Thanks Andy. I hope this gets to the list, gmail is refusing to take my posts at smtp.gmail.com again, so while I am using it as an address, I am posting thru the tv stations server.
