found a note in X.org bugzilla on this topic
if I had "vga=792" as a kernel parameter, I see much happiness on the
screen in my future.
first thing I did after getting X to work was to install emacs. (how
typical).
There are some other problems such as closing the lid causes the machine
to either hang or die. So I need to fool around with that. but most
importantly I have a screen with pretty colors (and a network connection
networks).
Xephem is next on the list.
