Maybe there should be this kind of catch() at the top level of each method ?

I'll try to increase allocated video memory, and setup 1280x1024, but my 
goal is to exclusively use S-video out PAL, so 720x576 is a good choice 
(and the only one left available, I think).

I'll check all the differences, and report.

I regularly have the ethernet not working. It happens when the chipset 
is not cleanly shut down, I think : either video or anything else 
(abrupt power-off, or kernel crash, or else).
The ethernet led either do not light up, or flash (the orange one : 
trafic). The LEDs on the peer (the switch in front on the EPIA) are all 
OK. When this happen, the trafic seems to go only in one direction : I 
noticed the EPIA sends DHCP request, the DHCP server correctly replies, 
but the EPIA never receives the packets, and retries...
I only get a reliable working ethernet only after I unplug every cable 
from the mobo for "sufficiently long" time : power, ethernet, even VGA 
(there might be voltage coming from the monitor). "Sufficiently long" is 
more than 5 minutes...

I'll do that.

Thanks.
