Video acceleration on IMSTT with bk (and Ben's) 2.4.7-pre6 kernel

BK 2.4.7-pre6:

OK.  It comes up for me 9600/233 with video acceleration and runs "single".

However, it won't start the X-server the error is something like:

 _X11TransConnectUNIX??? errno = 111

Other symptom is that the splash screen #cpus penguin is missing it's
background.

exactly the same config boots 2.4.3 OK and starts the X-server OK.

dmesg attached - I think Ben already has the lspci stuff from this machine -
but I can send it again if needed.

ciao,
Iain.
