I seem to recall sometime in the distant past that I set up modprobe
options on one of my systems.  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.
