agree... it's not the graphics card.. simply was curious if there was any
output, that's all. I'm cross compiling some more kernels... 2.2 and 2.4...
we shall see how far i (don't) get ;)
I'll let you know... btw, if you come across anything, pass me a shot....

the same thing after removing the graphics card.
