Ok I got it running with NVDI.  It's just not right though.  It will 
start begin to load xaaes and then stop.  Something is stopping the 
xaaes process.

root@washi:/root>fg
xaaes

When I type fg, it continues, but the console still bleeds through and 
overwrites the screen.  keystrokes get directed into the console too as 
well as jinnee or whatever app is topped.  Then jinnee will start.  Open 
and close a drive window or two and the screen will turn completely 
black....

This is with nvdi and mode 0x4325

I am posting this to the mint list too in case the prob is related to 
xaaes...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
