I always power up with external monitor devices first then the cpu
and then the drives.  I reverse that when shutting down.

I did that after I changed framebuffers from a 501-2337 to a 501-1645.
The monitor came up fine.  But, I could not do that with the 1962 on
the 501-2337 framebuffer.  I dunno why, yet.  Also, after bringing
up the cg6 and 1962, I lost X (i.e., the server would not start).
Any idea what happened to X?  Is it linking the wrong I/O space?
The 501-2337 is an S24 frame buffer?  When X was started, it said
it could not open the fb device.

Thanks
