In my case everything worked after upgrading to the 2.4.9 kernel. Everything except hardware video acceleration. I ended up needing to upgrade X to 4.1 and that fixed the problem. There are quite a few options in the 2.4.9 kernel, that might need to be tweaked for your system. Make sure that you have the correct options for framebuffer support and direct video rendering. One other thing, I also upgraded to KDE 2.2, and if this is anything like Mdk8.1 is going to be like, all I can say now is WOW. -- Alex Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft, recently referred to LINUX as a cancer.
