I performed this operation.

Still cannot get X to run as an ordinary user.

Xorg.0.log files for success as root, and failure as user can be found here:

http://www.dudley.nu/GoboLinux/Xorg.0.log-as-root

http://www.dudley.nu/GoboLinux/Xorg.0.log-as-user

The failure as user log includes the complaint that /dev/dri/card0 does not
exist.
It still doesn't exist when root runs X, but then it doesn't seem to matter.

At least the bloody keyboard works now.

Also, I put "Exec "get DHCP address..." dhcpcd eth1" in BootUp and now
networking
starts when the machine boots.  Amazing!
