IBM Thinkpad, X Server won't start

[Ryan Morgan <gunthre1212@yahoo.com>]

Hi all, was wondering if anyone could offer some assistance.  I just
installed Debian Woody on an IBM Thinkpad (specs below).  I believe I
have XF86Config-4 configured properly for my video setup, because I've
found other users with the same machine and used the same applicable
settings (driver, HorizSync, VertRefresh, etc).  However the X server
refuses to start, with this complaint:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
(entire log file below)

I've searched high and low with not much luck on how to correct this
error.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

'Puter specs:
-----------------------------------------------------------
* IBM Thinkpad 760 LD
* Pentium 90, 24 MB RAM, 810 MB HD
* Trident Cyber 9320 video
* Laptop LCD display, 640x480 maximum resolution (ugh!)
* I'm using gdm display manager.  Does that matter?
