Mark,

Based on your other e-mail I am guessing that it 'works for you' when
you use the 8776 driver.  What kernel are you using that driver with?
Are you using DVI out?

I guess I'm getting lost in the 'this works, this doesn't' matrix.

If someone were to ask me for a short cut to sensuality, I would
suggest he go shopping for a used 427 Shelby-Cobra.  But it is only
fair to warn you that of the 300 guys who switched to them in 1966,
only two went back to women.
