I just finished testing and comparing framebufers between kv2.4.26 and
kv2.6.8.1 (patched to 2.6.9-rc2) wrt a Matrox G200 AGP card.  The patched
kv2.6.8.1 is best despite the broken mga_vid in mplayer.  All things
considered I'll wait until mplayer catches up.  Everything else works too
good now to go backwards.

Life is good,
Maurice
