Actually, the older kernel worked.  The boot messages and login prompt
were in two inch high horizontal striped letters that did not all fit on the
current display screen(kind of annoying :( ).  But, logging in blindly and
typing "startx" got me nice, glorious color X.  Very pleasant.

Thanks,
Steve Brown
