Matt,

I thought I had.  I am running a vesa framebuffer config ... 

Now it seems that I can get X to start, but only thru the XDM login, and
NOT if i choose KDE.  KDE seems to try to start, and then right when it
says 'configuring hardware' it bombs back to an XDM login screen.

Black box now runs okay (from XDM).  I do not usually use XDM, and may
remove it in favor of a console/startx config.

aloha,
dave
