OK.
1. I don't use graphical login, but startx in console.
2. No (EE) or (WW) in /var/log/XFree97.0.log. It said it could not
find Speedo path and so disposed of it. Otherwise, clean.
3. I'm running a new installation of debian Woody 3.0r.1 from
cdrom. Kernel is 2.4.28-bf2.4. XFree86 is 4.1.0-16. X-window-system
is installed and version 4.1.0-16. The icewm is 1.0.9.2-7.

If it generates a functional configuration (with exeption it won't
know of my nVidia driver), that might represent a useful clean slate
(I did a lot of fiddling with my current configuration file, but it
originated with one that works for RedHat, same hardware). I'll give
this a try.
