For video see the file: linux/drivers/video/cyber2000fb.c (well that's the
file for a 2.2 kernel, not certain about 2.0?)

For login:  Is you login PAM based?  If so, set the time on your machine
or baring that, remove the expiry stuff from the password in the shadow
file.  Something like this:
        halt:*:10122:0:99999:7:-1:-1:-1
make it look something like:
        halt:*:10122::::::

This comes from the fact that the date Dec 31, 1969 is not a nice date :)
