You want to know the real clincher?  I decided to boot to my Mandrake on 
the Move CD  . . . . well, the last one I burned, since my co-worker at 
work loved my 1st copy so much he wanted it.   I guess my 2nd copy is hosed 
(Windoze burn . . .)  I fired back up the system and this time X-Windows 
wouldn't even fire up.  I changed the XF86Config-4 file because for some 
mysterious reason it had wacked the driver setting.  I changed it to Driver 
"radeon" and all the sudden it worked . . . perfectly ? ? ? ?  I've been 
fighting this for two nights now . . weird how it all the sudden works.  Jeez.

Installing all the updates now for Mandrake . . 128Mb worth.  We'll see 
what happens from there.
