They're broken here. xdm causes the kernel to halt (back to PROM prompt - 'program terminated'). startx as a user doesn't work (apparently because /dev/fb doesn't exist). startx as root causes the kernel to halt as above. On one occasion when it halted, I saw the message 'modprobe - unable to locate fb' or something like that.
