Damn. I should have know that. I used that with Red Hat. That runs, but I
can't seem to give it a configuration that works. I still get the black
screen.

I have 7.2 "Complete". The retail box that goes for ~$30.

Yup, that works, but X still doesn't start. I do startx, and terminal 7
goes black. Terminal 1 scrolls a bunch of setting up messages and never
returns to a prompt.
*sigh* I've got schoolwork to do. I shouldn't be screwing with this now,
but I can't help it. I'll have to poke around in Xconfigurator more
tonight.
