After doing so, X acted extremely weird; whenever just about anything happened, lines would appear across the screen, almost like static. After playing around with a few config options that I'd changed, with no results, I noticed the message about the VIA northbridge bug in dmesg. I commented out the line listing this chipset in pci-pc.c, recompiled, and sure enough that fixed the problem! This board is based on the KT33 chipset. If anyone would like more information, email me. -- -Steven In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. -- George Orwell He's alive. He's alive!
