Starting up X causes bad things, ie hang!
I'm building the log now and will send in separate message.
Thanks, Dave

I went back to trying to get the Nvida 6800gt card's bios, but still
even with dd -if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.rom skip=786432 bs=1 count=32768 I get the same binary as dd -if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.rom skip=1536 count=64.
Does the bios have a valid pci option rom signature? (55aa plus the other stuff, see romheaders utility in the openbios tree)
Or use hd and see whats at 0xc0000. Also fire up X and look at your log. It outputs a lot of good info.
