I managed to get the computer to load X (only after first starting up 
Windows XP's boot menu and CTRL+ALT+DEL my way back to Grub), so what's 
going on there I am still unsure of. I might have figured out the issue 
with the Sound Blaster AWE 64 Value card: only root has access it's 
controls. I really have no clue how that happened.

Anyone on either list know how to fix that issue?

Thanks,
