Okay Civileme,
I'll be "tinkering"
By the way I did order a "old,dumb,slow"
read that "cheap" video card last night.
A Matrox mystique card, which got "rave revues"
on both the Linux hardware site and is supported by
Xfree drivers. So maybe all this patching and trying
to get the video to "work" will be over for me.
I sincerely hope so! I'd like to move on to some other
project for Linux.
I do appreciate all your help!
