well, when I boot up, I get a $ prompt.  And that needs the brightness
turned down a bit, cause it's white text on a black screen.  Then I type
startx, and it starts loading x, and it's an x mouse pointer on some funky
black and white background, only I can barely make out the x, cause it's so
dark.  That's what I mean.  when I type startx from the $ prompt, I have to
turn up the brightness, and when I logout of X, I have to turn it back
down, and I'm wondering if there's some way I can balance X better.
