At least in part... I finally got X to come up full screen (though I'm still not sure what resolution it is... though being full screen if enough for me right now).... Now I just need to figure out how to do that with the console (tty*). BTW, Peter, Henry, and Dan - thanks for all of your help! I couldn't have done it without you guys. Now on to more fun... ports and possibly that Kernel recompile for VESA! =46un times abound!
