Jeff,
  I tried and this is the result:

Fatal server error:
no screens found

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Basically the same as before.  I used 'startx -bpp16 > x.out 2>&1' for the
output.  The one thing that disturbs me, however,  is where it says that
none of the configured devices were detected.  I used xf86config to set up
XFree 86, but used Xpert 98 instead of Rage Pro for the chipset option;
maybe that was it.


Thanks for your help,


Bud Jones
