I'm not sure how you're starting X, but if it happens to be 'X' on the command
line try 'X -retro'. During my first attempt at 7.4 I thought I had a bad
build, but I was really just left with a black screen and no input drivers.

-retro starts the stipple with the classic stipple and cursor visible.
The default is to start with a black root window, and to sup-
press display of the cursor until the first time an application
calls XDefineCursor(). For the Xorg server, this also changes
the default for the DontZap option to FALSE. For kdrive
servers, this implies -zap.
Good Luck,
Trent.
