hmm.  i moved /etc/init.d/xdm to a safe place, rebooted, copied the new
kernel & modules from the other machine, rebooted & made minor changes,
put the xdm file back, and all was well.

(also, i reran xf86config while it was gone, and made some progress.  At
least i have 800x600 now, but it can't find a clock for 1024x? . .)
