	If this is the same problem as I had with my Q630, I think a
kernel I compiled should do the trick. Take a look at
http://www.teleport.com/~rimsky/kernels.shtml. It is a basically GENERIC
kernel with a patch for the Valkyrie internel video board given to me by
Michael Zucca. Works fine on my Q630, and a few other people have had
success with it as well. 

	Does anyone know if this patch has gotten into 1.3.1 or -current? 

	Good luck!
