No.  It won't.  It just says no screens are found.  I was able to
ktrace this.  Bad things happen if I do a chown imp /dev/ttyE0 and try 
to start.  The console effectively goes away. :-(.

Hmmm..  I tried making it setuid root.  I'll try this, but I think
that Xhpc is dropping any privs that it has too soon.
