Is it because I have no XF86config file, so X is falling back to a nice safe
640x480?
I don't know where to get such a file (it doesn't appear to be in the X rpms
on your site), or the XF86config binary to generate it.
Is there an ELF libX11 out there, or do I need to compile that? If so, does
the source need ARMLinux patches?

$ insmod ppp.o
ppp.o: ppp.o: No such file or directory
It's not ppp - I checked and ismod is failing to load the msdos filing system
when I attempt to mount a DOS floppy. I've disabled kerneld, and I know kmod
is working because I get modprobe errors on the console when I attempt the
mount. I conclude that I am unable to load kernel modules on 2.2.2 for some
reason. (If I rename /lib/modues/2.2.2 to 2.2.2-rmk5 then I get errors about
"not found", (sorry, I forget the exact text) so I know it's trying to look in
2.2.2 directory
recompiled kernel with ppp linked in and pppd works. (I'm mailing this :-) )
