Lucky you.. you have an ML-34 processor. I wanted an ML-32 or ML-34, but here 
in Bangkok you have but the ML-28.

Always lots of options here in Thailand, when I bought my car (Peugeot 406) I 
could choose.. the colour. :(

I've been debating installing those..  I did very early on, but before I even 
tried to use it, I changed my mind.

BTW if you ever decided to uninstall those you'll need to re-link the libGL.so 
file.

Thanks I'll try

Did you try my keyboard's mapping? It should work on yours too... For the 
console, just grab uk.map.gz and add the 2 lines needed... that should do 
it... but then you probably don't care that much about the euro sign ;-)

I'll respond to your post. I did find a problem too.... But the card I wanted 
to see working IS working. :)

Now if I could find a 64bit driver for the Broadcom 4318E...  The worst of it 
all is that Broadcom sends a Linux driver with its "development platform" for 
that chips :-[

Cheers,
	François
