What driver did the install setup?  BenH kernel is not installed by
default unless you select it during install.  I looked at substituting it
if you booted BenH install, but all I managed to do was break the package
selection altogether when I tried to do the substitution. I can probably
substitute fbdev for the driver the installer sets up, as well as the
installer.
