Chris, Steve, or anyone else that can help,
  I still don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I think I followed the
instructions to the letter, but still don't know what's going wrong.  This
is the output from my latest attempt at startx:

Maybe I should just take the card back to CompUSA and attempt to find an
older model card somewhere (even though it was listed on
http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.3/Mach645.html#5 as one of the supported cards).

                                                                        Bud
