Ah. I used vga=normal, then "grml-x -mode '1024x768' -module i810 fluxbox" and all was well. It's gorgeous! :-) Questions & suggestions (this is all while running from CD, btw):
XConsole is one annoying app. Running it from X you get "Couldn't open xconsole". I usually do "su" (no dash) then run it from a root command line, then exit. This (su, no dash) uses the user's ~/.Xauthority. Doing this in grml, trying to exit out of the root login, I get "You have running jobs.", and exit fails. Drat. Do I have to use nohup? Or will one of your brilliant zsh tricks (RUNASROOT) solve this?

Well, switching resolution on the fly won't work with vesafb.

You need to have read-permissions for /dev/xconsole.

Just run 'exit' once more and you won't get the "You have running jobs" a second time. ;)
