Thanks, I will.  I've been updating every other day or so.  Aside from 
occasional general unreproducible oddness, my main video problem now is 
that in 1280x1024@60 (wide screen LCD), 5 or 10 pixes are cut off the 
very top of the display.  No amount of auto-adjusting or fiddling with 
the LCD has made a difference, and this mode worked as expected with the 
same hardware under Dapper.  It looks odd, but I can live with it.

Later,
JP

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
