Thanks all. I added "r128" which seemed the closest to what I actually have, and I'm now back running with everything coming up on reboot. I may fool with the proprietary driver, but it doesn't matter too much -- my use does not stress the video performance much. I just want it to work. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
