Hi! August,

Isn't it possible to force discovery of new hardware?

I guess that's an option.  In my case I'd hunt down why the hardware
disappeared from the DM.  It's easier since the video driver(s) are more
likely to be available on the install CD, or even using the generic
driver(s).

Cheers,
Paul.
