  i *was* going to add something to that effect to my previous note.
are other distros having exactly the same frustrations?  friends of
mine who run debian or ubuntu seem to be happy, so maybe i'll ask them
what they're doing.

  i'm not asking for much -- i don't need 3D or blazing speed.  i just
want my native 1280x800 screen resolution.  i don't think that's
being unreasonable.
