There are at least three ways to go about it, all involving patching not
only the kernel (which I'm not worried about) but patching XFree86
(which I am worried about). One my kernels was patched to
2.6.2-mm1-reiser4-swsusp-orinoco. I am a bad man :)

If they are in 2.6.2 (all my workstations and the server run 2.6.2-mm1)
this could make life easier, although XFree86 would still be a problem.

I'm not sure when we'll be getting started. Its supposed to coincide
with the office moving, but I'm not sure when that will happen. I'll
keep you posted.
