Problems with FTDI basic

Hmmm... perplexing. Everything appears bootloaded correctly. With Show Info and 's', speed test, would you get me the results from one of your Uno chips? I am wondering about the external crystal setup. Also, would you have a electolytic capacitor (~100uF) that you can decouple the power rails and a 0.1uF to decouple the 5v/Gnd going into the chip?

---edit---

Also, did you bend one of the leads on the external crystal to get it to fit the 0.1" pitch of the breadboard? Usually, I see the crystal diagonal to connect to the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins on the Atmega.
