Heh, well, don't assume to much about me :) I don't think I tried the novideo thing, most of the tests I did were with 2.4 kernels anyway as 2.2.x lacks a few rather important thing to support recent machines properly. Anyway, given the current status of 2.4.x, I think I will take some time next week to backport most of this to 2.2.20 so at least a reliable 2.2.x can be used for people who don't want to fight with the various 2.4.x problems :( Ben.
