What may have happened is that I set it up when I was using F7, then when I updated to F8 the update process blew away my settings. I know that many other settings (e.g., power management) were reset when I updated. I see that the visor module is loaded ("modprobe -l | grep visor") but I know I don't have any special options set in modprobe.conf. I'll try it this evening and see what happens. -- Mark C.
