I updated my system to LinHES 6.01 maybe almost 1.5yrs ago (IIRC, I could be off a little) and I just did a straight install (not attempting to upgrade).
I had problems with the VFD (which I bought back around end of 2005) and I remember in my futzing with it - forcing it to a VFD was one of those things that seemed to help get it working reliably -- and so I didn't think about it much since.
But I do remember it not working "out of the box" without me tweaking a little or at least forcing it to a known state.

So I'm speaking up - as requested. :D
