I stumbled upon this fix on my own a while ago, but I have no idea as to
what is broken that it is fixing.  What did I do that makes it
impossible for me to use rhgb all of a sudden?  Video driver change?  I
went back to the plain nv from a compiled nvidia, and still no go.
Kernel change?  I had removed all frame buffer items (among other
changes) and then put them back, but still no go.  Any clues???
