Yes, been there, seen that.

There are some patches available to fix it, the file I used was called
"ariadne_picasso-src11.tar.gz" and could be found on ftp.uni-regensburg.de
(I can't remember which directory, I think it may have been in 'incoming'
at the time but it has probably been moved since then).

I now get normal console operation and X-windows runs fine with the Xcl
server.

Hope that helps,
