Hi Sergio,



Thanks for the suggestion. Its Mandriva 2008.1. I considered 2009
originally but was advised to wait for 2009.1 as apparently KDE is
broken or at least sick. However, according to Peter, the implication
is that I am facing a kernel problem rather than an X11 or driver
problem so I don't know that 2009 would help me. I am always reluctant
to upgrade Mandriva, especially a major version change. It invariably
destroys some number of working services that takes me weeks to get
back. There is a long way to go for Mandriva to become a replacement
for Windows for the non-Unix expert as it is advertised. I've been 3
weeks already, trying to get 2008.1 working again and I've been a Unix
admin for 20 years (UNICOS, HPUX, AIX and mostly OS X but not so much
Linux). Anyway this seems to be the last glitch (hopefully) so I am not
in any hurry to punish myself again so soon to get to 2009.
