Version 3.1 is quite old now.  There have been four
updates since then.  We are now on 3.31.  Some of
the updates have been significant -- I suggest you
read the ChangeLog to see what you are missing.

Xvesa (the X driver in BL3) clashes with some DOS/Windows
drivers (for example:  some versions of himem.sys).  Try 
booting your system with bare DOS -- no config.sys, no 
autoexec.bat, no Windows.  That usually solves the problem.

This problem with Xvesa is mentioned in the BL3 readme.
