Just out of interest, I found this link to doing X.org in a
non-intrusive setting but you must "make world" which has always been
a rather interesting phenomenan at least for me to wait through.

Note that this is for Debian but many of the basic precepts probably
hold true for other distributions as well.

I've noted my own differences with the Xfree86 version and X.org
running on FreeBSD 5.3.  I cannot get 24 Bpp to work whatsoever on my
T23 with Xfree86.  The screen discolors and all the graphics look
skewed or wierd.  I know it works with X.org because I've installed
the latest FreeBSD on the laptop too and it works.  I have a T23 which
will run at 1024x768.
