Hi Phil.  I was testing the x86_64 version, but that worked perfectly.

I installed the driver, and plugged in the monitor.  The module loaded, 
and the screen went pure green.

# lsmod |grep udlfb
udlfb                  17248  0


Its a little weird, but that's exactly what its supposed to do, when the 
driver loads but there's nothing using the monitor yet.

I hope the list doesn't mind, but I'm attaching a small image, just to 
show the monitor (and to give you an idea of the desktop I'm working with.)

Thanks a lot.  I'm going to download the X11 drivers now, compile them, 
and see how that goes.

Cheers,
Greg
