The MADHATTER kernels should give you black and white X on your monitor at
odd resolutions. I can't remember where to get them at the moment. Ask
on the list and I'm sure someone will know where. It might also be
mentioned in the Meta-FAQ. I think that the standard GENERIC kernel will
handle 640x480 resolution in B&W just fine. There is no support for true
grayscale, tho, since it would require more or less the same support that
color requires.
Later.
