Thanks.  I believe this gives me enough confidence to go ahead
with the proposed change.  However, the b103 deadline is in a couple
of hours so I would feel much more comfortable waiting until b104
to give more people with GeForce 6150 motherboards time to test.
For b102-103 you will still need to manually disable MSI by uncommenting
the line in /kernel/drv/nvidia.conf.
