The 411 version kernel might not work at all for GUI. There is supposed
to be a later version out, with the correction of the introduced bug. I
believe the next kernel number is 419.
Oh boy, it sure didn't... much much worse... can't get into X at all now... X
server bails.
The kernel I see in arjan is now 414... Does this have a fix?
