Thanks. I gzipped the file, placed it in /usr/sbin/, and then ran it. I
answered "yes" to all three of the questions it asked. After running the
script, I tried X again and this was the error message I received this time:

(**) XKB: disabled

Fatal server error:

By the way, in case I should have to do this again, is there anyway to get
this info out of a log file or something? I wrote out/retyped this info
myself.

Thanks again for your help.
