Since you have the same setup I have (K&D) I figured i fubbed up somewhere... redid the exploit since i had it running a little different... i renamed the fonts in /fonts to xft and patched the dash.xbe to used those... config magic didn't work and i had reinstalled before... but i reinstalled anyway from a different copy of it and it worked fine...
Just put the screws back in my box... had the case off for a week putting different HD in and hotswapping like crazy to get the softmods working(no memcard or other modded box avail)
Thanks again to those that made this possible... this exploit is exactly what i needed/wanted
