Agreed.  I'm not sure what cbx33 has planned for it.  I've been head down
on ldm2, which is going to fix a lot of issues for us.  We need to get
TCM fixed up for the next LTS release, for sure.

The handbook made a huge leap forward last time, but it's got a long way
to go.  Plus, we keep adding MORE stuff!  Argh!  More people on the doco
team are always needed.  Once I get done wrapping up ldm2, I'll start in
on more doco.

If you've got specific clients it does't work on, file bug reports on 'em.
Specifically, output of lspci -vv so we can see what's in the box for a 
video card.  That will help immensely.
