I have considered this method, but when there is eventually a color 
server to go with 1.3_alpha's Xserver I would probably have to re-gzip 
all of the fonts.  And I would probably screw it up.  Or, it would 
require some sort of setting or something that I didn't have or didn't 
have correctly configured.  I think I am going to re-install 1.2's X 
using the lkm_video.combined.o I have that loads successfully into 
1.3_alpha's kernel and just wait for further developments.

Bleeding on the edge,

Sean.
