Yes, it's up. However, I think this error is a wild goose...
I rebooted to the 2.6.19 kernel and started X. It came right up, and
this was the output of "startx > startx.2.6.19 2>&1":

Notice the "9202" error line. I then rebooted back into 2.6.23 and
started X with "startx > startx.2.6.23 2>&1". It took 1-2min to for me to get
my window environment, and here is the output of that run:

Notice there is little difference between them. I think I need to trim
