Michel, Thanks for the tip. On a hunch, I switched my monitor with another one we had available, and it turns out my current monitor could not handle the refresh rates set by XFree 4. But as luck would have it, the other monitor that did work well in linux did not work at all with MacOS. It isn't a huge deal, but for safety sake, I'll use the unaccelerated mode with my older monitor till I can convince my boss to spring for a new monitor for me :)

I redid my own kernel with ADB keycode turned off and everything went relatively smoothly after that. My thanks again to everyone who answered my queries and also to the folks who put together this system. ciao vinai
