Thanks KR, I must admit that I was more than just a little nervous aout  
changing drivers but all is well now. I can play all I want in the guide  
and no problems.

Do you ever see a dropped frame? I see this maybe once or twice an hour  
but don't remember seeing it with fbdev. Maybe I just didn't notice it  
before.

I love this program, and the distro that let me get it working.
