Were you to use what little straw you have between your ears, you might
have slowly tumbled to the conclusion that I lack the entire kernel
source tree between 2.0.12 and 2.0.29. Since I have 2.0.29 and that
recognizes the VX, I can only recommend that.

Now, of course, one should not expect a person with a little straw between
the ears as yourself to think, so I have outlined the reasoning behind my
suggestion.

Yes. You are indubitably right. The kernel not recognizing a major chipset
is indeed the fault of a wrong configuration. No doubt. File lacking a
device recognition string. Yep, misconfigured kernel. Yep. Right. That's
the sodding spirit.

Indenboum, please remove your straw-underfilled head from your posterior
and endeavor to use it for something less unconstructive than occupying
spatial resources.
