Hi Micah,

Thanks! That works!!

It is not perfect, but its works. It tried it on my default kernel, but
I will 
use the defoptions as you said (after removing the # ofcourse).

BTW I did not have to do a update-grub. It appears that it works
without upgrading ?

Anyway, thanks for the hint.

Guus.
