Umm.. no.. no special options.  Wacky means it does something different
that's wrong and new every time.  Like showing the bottom 2/3 of the opening
background graphic, with the top 1/3 of the screen all black.  Or almost all
of the background graphic, and a bunch of very tiny HP logos (the starting
logo on the powerup) in a row on the very top of the screen... or a black
1/3 top of the screen and a rainbow spectrum of individual pixels in an
indescribable pattern (mostly whiteish cyan).  It's different every time.
Sometimes the watch shows up.. sometimes it doesn't.

The only way to get the graphical display to show right is to comment out
the line wtih 'glx' in the XF86-Config4 file.  It has a comment of '3d
layer' by it.

Thanks for any ideas / help. :)
