What kernel were you using?

Yes I am. I'm just stuck under a pile of grad-work. :)

Let it run for a little bit. Sometimes X takes a while to come up.

If it got the screen gray then it managed to map in screen memory and plow
some bits onto the screen. If it crashed it might indicate that the kernel
thinks VRAM is bigger than it actually is.

BTW, is this internal video as in the LCD screen or "external video" as
in an external monitor?

You should also be able to pick up a non-X version of emacs or just run
emacs with -nw (no window).

Sorry. I'm piled under with work. Otherwise people might be running *color*
X windows by now...Hang in there folks, it'll only be a few more weeks
before I can get cracking on intvid again.

Thanks for your patience!
