this isn't working, but poking around in that file, i noticed that i
set my driver to "svga" and i'm not at all sure if this is right -- in
fact, i'm kind of sure it's wrong -- but i *do* remember choosing it
in the dselect menu somewhere along the way. now i'm not sure how to
change it, since running dselect config generates the same errors as
to perl locales (LANG, LC, LANGUAGE) that i was previously getting.
but i think if i put the right thing here, X will stop being huge.

right, i did, i meant, "UNcommented out. didn't do anything" -- which
was, of course, because i hadn't restarted it. fixed now; thanks.
