After the night I've had (and a large part of the day yesterday as well) I think the next thing that performs aggravated assault on my pocket will be a graphics card. I can't get the old clunker to admit anything but 'make and model' (Creative Graphics Blaster Riva TNT 16 MB) to 'Drake. XF86Config-4 keeps claiming it only has 4 MB of memory. Resembles something a dog would turn it's hindquarters on. It started when I installed the NVidia drivers. The next time I dropped to the console to fiddle it locked up on loading GLX; and then kdeinit was suicidal no matter what I tried to edit. Thank all of the people that nagged me about back-ups until it became a habit.
