I've done stops 1, 2, and 3, and none of them work.. However.... I tried Knoppix
3.3 with the Radeon server, and it works perfectly fine. I get 500 FPS with
glxgears, and no lockup.

I'm about to give up trying to do this, because my IBM Service partition, and my
WindowMaker state file, and my dpkg Available file, along with a few .viminfos
scattered around the system, got corrupted. 

Speaking of the dpkg available file, is that necessary? Do i need to rebuild it?
I copied the -old copy on top of the corrupted one.
