Ooops.... that was my fat fingers messing up. I meant the 2.6._18_ kernel from etch.
All packages I've tried are from stable. This box is very basic. Nothing it it but
the video card and a 3Com NIC. Since the memory apperared ok, I figured I'd try the
adapters for fun. It sort of goes back to what an instructor taught us the first day
of field service class about 30 years ago.... "Never overlook the obvious,
nor rule out the unlikely." I'm presently compiling a custom 2.6.26 kernel from the
stable Debian source. I suspect it has something to do with the frame buffer support.
But I don't know yet if it's an issue with the kernel, or if I may have a flakey
video card on my hands. Details as they become available, film at 11.
