I don't mind devoting my time and attention to this. I don't mind being
as generous as you obviously are.   *<|;~]

But I really can't live with Enlightenment, not in a system I use. I've
dated some really beautiful women, but I never married them.
Enlightenment reminds me of a fashion show. It's fun to look at what
comes down the catwalk, but I wouldn't want to live day-to-day with any
of them.

Looking at the 'xorg.conf' that you proposed, I'm struck that it's all
graphics driver switches. Do you really think that's the problem? I have
no experience with Gobo/Enlightenment, so I don't know how to run it
without a mouse. The display isn't blank. It's just a gray background
and an unmovable mouse cursor, but it's not blank. I don't see how the
display could be the problem. Also, the keyboard doesn't appear to work.
Can Gobo be run via a keyboard? I don't know. The live CD running
Enlightenment wouldn't do anything without a mouse. The hard disk
installed Gobo is the same, but without the volcanic cinder cones.

Another thing I question is: Why is Gobo trying to sniff out the VM? I
thought that guest OSes weren't aware (couldn't become aware?) that
they're in virtualized hardware.

What say you, Lucas?
