Basically, you need a kernel with STI framebuffer support and configure
XFree to use the fremebuffer driver. Mouse and keyboard are standard
PS/2 components so there's no problem, too. If your colors are totally
wrong, place 'Visual "TrueColor"' into the "Display" subsection of your
"Screen" section. Pay attention to your screen resolution and color
depth - they have to exactly match to what you get on boot-up since
there's no support to switch to another resolution/depth right now IIRC.
