That fixed it.
Booted to normal desktop and menus.
Still set at 16-bit color depth in xorg.conf
I "took a shot at" an automated setting of mode 0 for the nVidia Quadro FX 330 GeForce PCX 5300 (NV37GL) graphics card, so that you should not have to enter the modeset argument on the kernel line. This is the same technique I used in lucid pup for the Brookdales.
Could you try the attached package without using the kernel argument, to see if it takes care of the screen problem and does not cause any other problem?
Just in case I guessed wrong about the hardware IDs, could you post or PM the output of "lspci -nn" (the part for the graphics card) and "grep '10de' /tmp/udevtrace.log"?

The pet does not work for me, but I may be using it wrong.
I got back to using nouveau driver.
Installed pet.
Rebooted.
Boots to point of running X server and stops with blinking line top left of screen.
Am I doing it right?
