No: the original Lombard 400's had DVD drives, as well as a hardware DVD decoder.

I hear you. It is just that all of the machines I have use some flavour of the ATI Mach64 chip, and the 2.2.** kernels allow me to do colour and resolution switching on the command line and at boot time. The kernel drivers in 2.4.+ have not been as well behaved (at least for me) and it was a little hard to jusitfy moving up to 2.4.+ without this hardware working ... Thanks much. cheers vinai
