Daniel,
Thanks for the note. Some questions. If the bootloader gets the
setting right, why can't the rest of the code get it right? In both
cases, the video has to be set up correctly to work. I realize that the
xorg code is being used for display, but it still seems illogical that

I have spent a frustrating afternoon trying to get Ubuntu, Fedora, and
now the latest Debian livecd to run on a few computers. I need some
help here. The vitals are:
* Computer 1: CPU 233 MHz P-II, 384 MB RAM, 10 GB disk, Voodo 3dfx
* Computer 2: CPU 1.8 GHz Athlon, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB disk, NVIDA RI
