   My apologies Michael, I was interleaving this work with handling 
visitors at the museum, as well as working on a few other machines, so 
my attention was divided.  I'll get you full dmesg output if you still 
need it, but it's definitely attaching as sfb.  And I'll get the Xorg 
log file as well.  I should be over there tonight with no visitors around.
