Originally, I enabled mse0, but disabling it hasn't improved matters any. My problem is that once these drivers are configured and I leave the configuration screen, the screen goes blank, save for what appears to be a large cursor at the upper left corner of the screen. If I wait a few seconds, my machine reboots and I'm back to square one. On the other hand, if I use the default configuration I experience a whole pile of conflicts, but I do successfully reach the installation screen! If you could help me in any way, I really would appreciate it! Regards, James Moritz Cygnus Technology Ltd.
