AWESOME....

Took me a while... I went down the same road Fred went.  I brought my system 
back up to date from 0.9.1 to 0.10.1, and even the kernel up to 
2.6.20-1.2925.  Then I had to get rpm-build and ncurses-devel (I hadn't 
installed any of the development stuff on my box) to get through the config 
and compile of the saa7127 module, but now it works GREAT.

Thanks Fred, Dan. (even though I read Dan's message immediately after fixing 
it.) :-)
