|2.6.29 and 2.6.30 both have the screen working, but usb is messed up.

Yes indeed!  Thank you!
Also, what was the last working kernel?  I think it was .23 or .24.  Will
using a modern roofts from Narcissus work with the older kernel?  If someone
has one (I've lost all mine), I'd like to have it so I can at least use my
Tosa! :)
