I got a tad further with the latest update, where it tries to derive the LCD
dimensions.  This laptop actually stores the right dimensions in the BIOS,
being 1280x1024.  However, so far when I try to actually run with a config
that supports that resolution I get a funky effect: the screen shows some
colour and (depending on the depth being 8, 16 or 24) various broken copies
of what I *should* see.  Then it progressively begins to become more bright,
until all of the screen is a bright white, except for some vertical lines near
the left end of the screen.

It has been completely baffled right now.  Sounds like bed time.  Anyone who
has seen this, and has any ideas?

	Kris
