What are "-vga vmware" or "-vga std"? Are these command line options for
something? Does this have anything to do with the "xmodule=" or
"nomodeset" cheat-codes? I know very little about X and don't know what
xorg modules are. I do know I have an Nvidia video card and was having
intense video issues with K643 with the nouveau driver and they were
corrected with boot params "nomodeset xmodule=nv" (There may have also
been mouse pointer issues, but it would have been impossible to notice.).
These problems were fixed in K644, I no longer needed "nomodeset
xmodule=nv", and nouveau worked fine.

Will do!
