They are looking for people who fit in? Certainly not looking for those

switched it to *ramfb* (fb=framebuffer?) and rebooted. X then made a
decision that it would not start and ended up with a happily blinking
cursor. Switched the video back to VirtIO and rebooted, then the screen

There is. I changed the video setting from VirtIO to VGA and rebooted
it. The best monitor resolution remains 1440x900.
But I also discovered another oddity with PCLOS. The 'lsusb -v' command

There are quite a few advantages to using files over devices.
