FINALLY got the 2.4.0-test10 benh kernel going.
I had to turn off a bunch of stuff to get it to run (i.e. to avoid
the black screen of death on boot) and I'm not sure the
PPP async driver works yet, had to compile it as a module.

The controlfb driver now senses the 4m video memory properly
on the 7500.

XFree4.01 runs (though the keyboard is messed up. I have to investigate
the new input layer)

The stock XFree86 (XFree86-3.3.6-11.2) also works in 24/32 bits now!!!
HOORAY!! Hopefully the changes will eventually make it to the stock
trees.

Thanks Michel!
