thanks frank!

no wonder you were ignoring me ;)


i tried with an xorg.conf and it started up, but with an 800x600
display.  it also has the same problem above:

[   153.944] (WW) xf86EnableIO -1
[   153.945] (II) xf86EnableIO: ffffffff
[   153.945] (WW) Can't map IO space!

even in this case, but it doesn't seem to truly break it.

i'm going to switch ofppc to xorg by default... and we'll
fix these issues.
