The saga contiues -- I downgraded to 1.7.7-r1 for xorg-server,
recompiled the keyboard, mouse and video drivers and still the monitor
just keeps switching between analog and digital, but only when gdm
starts. OUtside of X the monitor acts normally. I also am using hal
again for the keyboard and that seems to work now.
