 O.K. - now I understand what is happening to me.  The clue is that olpc-
 xos works for user olpc, but does not work in a VT.

 In 802, I used olpc-xos as root, and it worked for me.  In F11, olpc-xos
 works only as olpc, not as root.  [I switched from root to user olpc on my
 XO-1.5 system, and now olpc-xos did work for me.]


 How can I set up whatever 'dbus' needs to work under userid zero ?
