SUCCESS!!!

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!
Fun times abound!
