Well, it sure looks like a video issue. This thing is
so fast I did not think about X trying to kick in so
soon.
Anyways, it seems as the only mode it will take is
800x600 16.
Anything else will kill it again. I checked the logs
and it tells me the Intel Chipeset is Unknown. So it
loads the Generic Vesa drivers.

Anyone know what chipset is on these things anyways?

Thanks,
Winston
