PS:
I looked at some of the older Xorg logs, that error has been there, 
copiously and seemingly forever.  One of them was north of 500 megs!

So...

I reconfigured, built and installed a 3.16.0 kernel with the generic fbdev 
added to the mix.  But have not rebooted yet.  About to do that but it 
takes me about 10 minutes after a reboot to get all my workspaces set up. 
Boot timing is wrong from gkrellm so I always have to kill it and give the 
hardware monitor time to get its stuff in one sock, then restart it, and X 
always opens every console I had running when I issued the reboot, on 
workspace #1, and there are 10 of them. 9 are busy ATM. For some strange 
reason, Kcalc is the only utility that remembers which workspace it was 
on. Everything else is piled up on workspace 1 & has to be moved to where 
it normally lives. :)

I write bash scripts for something like a kernel build/install so I don't 
have to remember (considering the years on the wet ram) all that. ;)

Anyway, reboot coming up.

Thanks Thomas.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
