No, Sindi, I was lying to you about that. I really don't want to be able
to display images on BL at all.

I'm just playing a practical joke on the whole group for my twisted
amusement

The video is excellent, and easy to use, on an old debian that I have.
Never had a single problem with it.

And back when I ran windoze and used the sound, it was quite good.

Though I fail to see what the video chip has to do with sound.

and spend the next year trying to get it to work pathetically.

Different strokes for different folks.
