I'm very glad to hear that it is POSSIBLE to get it to work.  I was 
beginning to think I'd have to ditch the idea of using this machine.  My 
9yr old daughter has been raised on KDE, but she has several older games 
that she likes to play on her mac.  She recently asked why she couldn't run 
KDE on that machine, too.  Hence the project.  It would be nice not to have 
to dual boot.

I'm also using 2.6.8.  I've also tried 2.6.7.  With the same luck, 
unfortunately.

Would you mind e-mailing me your kernel's .config file?  Actually, while 
you're at it, your molrc files as well.  I'd like to see what's different 
from my own.  I've tried lots of different combinations, but perhaps I'm 
missing something.

Thanks.
