Well that explains that.

I was avoiding use of the vesa driver for some reason but I'll give it a
try and see if I can get anywhere. Yeah, all my mother needs is a
straight 2D environment. I'm not big on on-board video/audio/networking
but for light use, it's ok. If she were to ever need something with more
juice, I'd get a seperate 3D card anyway.
Thanks.
