I checked with uname that I was running the most recent kernel.
Using the previous kernel, I was able to get X running in 800x600 mdel 
(i.e. useless on my WSXGA+ screen).

Also, I got disgusted with the fights between livna and atrpms a long 
time ago, and now I don't have a single livna package on my system.

Ugh.  And then recompile it with every kernel update, right?
