now...assuming that your grf device configures on startup.  A few people
have posted that it might take about 10 tries to get X to come up, but it
does come up for them on 68LC040-based machines.  However, some 'LC040's
are actually buggy and will require an upgrade.  I guess this is a
situation where you'd just have to try it and see....
