Which screen resolution did you try? The drfault is 800x600, so that's probably OK, but you may need the cheat code fb800x600 to get you started. You probably also need to rerun xsetup again at this point. After you boot, ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of X then type xsetup.sh That will start the script to setup X again. I'm guessing you need a frame buffered 800x600, but I could be wrong since you don't specifiy which IBM you have.

Boot with dsl vga=788 and see if it works. The spec page for the 600e says it has a Neomagic with 2.5 mb of sgram.
