   Ok, this is much better.  It boots and installs (I'm using the 10.1 
image) and the framebuffer doesn't go mad when the X server starts up. 
It basically works.

   But there is a strange offset to the video.  I've attached two pics 
which show what I mean.  See where my pointer has grabbed the window 
title bar in the second picture; I've actually grabbed the window and am 
dragging it, so that's where the X server thinks the window is.  But the 
actual displayed objects are shifted to the left.

   I'm going to leave this install on there; I should be able to copy in 
new X servers as needed for further testing, if you want to try to chase 
this down.  The machine is on the network etc so it's easy to get stuff 
in and out, I just have to be over at the museum to do it.

               Thanks,
               -Dave
