I'm reading, I'm taking it in, I'm trying what is being suggested. Just happens I've got something weird going on and I'm not the only one that's ever happened to. Maybe I'm one of the few who hasn't simply walked away yet.

I know this is not much help, but I had many similar headaches with
mythdora (and Fedora in general) and ended up back with Mythbuntu.
It's not perfect, but the stupid little things like drivers just seem
to work no matter what hardware I've tried installing it on. I've
probably gone through 20+ different hardware configurations with the
last few years worth of Mythbuntu with out issue (well, one, but it
was due to a bad power supply).

Now I have a folder on my mythbackend with my personal modifications
to the standard mythbuntu install for my house setup and was able to
do the same for the system I just built my parents. So I can go from
new hardware (I've set up 3 new ION based systems in the last few
weeks) to fully working and integrated system in 30minutes more than
the amount of time it takes Mythbuntu to install. I can't complain
about that. I even turned one of them into a desktop by just telling
the mythbuntu control center to install Gnome and it was a piece of
cake.
