Ah, For some reason I didn't see the part that you could enable it again
(though it would have been nice for them to tell you what to put in
xorg.conf.  I found it here

I may try that.  The server install will be a little trickier though,
since I'm still cranking along on Fedora 8 on that box.  That means a
fresh install. All my recordings are on separate drives, so I can always
make their conversion a separate project.

Thanks, all.
