Default [FYI] Upgrade from Slack 9.0 to 9.1

Followed UPDATING like a good boy.

Issues:

VMWare and NVidia kernel modules broken (obvious with new kernel)
- Rebuilt modules. *RESOLVED*

SB Audigy ceased functioning (possibly ALSA related)
- Installed Emu10k1 driver (sourceforge) *WORKAROUND/RESOLVED*

Unable to sync/mount Clie PDA
- Possibly module issues, though required modules were
stock in 9.0. Fear rebuilding kernel for fear of breaking
sound card again. visor and usbserial modules not
found. No longer stock, or obsoleted by newer modules *PENDING*

-Get off butt and stop playing Diablo II long enough to test
USB Flash drive. *PENDING*

xawTV: No video (Blue Screen, good tuner)
-Possibly unrelated to upgrade, or maybe change in BTTV driver.
Or screwup in XF86Config while commenting the nvidia driver.
Re-enabled 'xv' *RESOLVED*


All I've come across so far. Maybe this will help out the next poor
shmuck who forces himself to upgrade by forgetting the . at the
beginning of ./usr/bin.

If anyone's got a clue on the Clie for 2.4.22, I'd be much obliged.
Most of what I find in google is for (sometimes WAY) older versions
though I haven't checked dejagoogle yet.
