I do plan to do this. I think I made some progress a while back. I think I got it to boot but then ran into other issues. It's been a while. I been sick, my Mom has been sick so I don't really have a lot of time to spend on this right now. Not to mention having to pull the plug on my rig. That really left a bad taste in my mouth. I guess I need to sort out the kernel first then fiddle with xorg again, someday. Dale :-) :-)
