It most definitely has something to do with 0xC0000000 being
assigned to the video card.  I changed my DTS to move everything
up (started the whole space at 0xC4000000) and the video card
came to life!  Of course, I'm not interested in this hack,
so the simplest thing would be to figure out why 2.6.26 allocated
that outgoing window and 2.6.28 doesn't
