Ah. OK then. In that case my problem is that the display dies at some stage during the process of starting X. I get the same result by commenting out the BusID line altogether or by using the example XF86Config-4 from:
	http://mij.oltrelinux.com/ibook/step_step/#xfree

Following execution of the startx command the screen goes blank (as expected), gives a momentary flick of light (as expected) and then reverts to blankness. 

My network is up and running. I have tried both 'startx' and 'startxfce4'.

A ps -ax executed via an ssh session now gives:
  532 tty1     S+     0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/X11/startx
  543 tty1     S+     0:00 xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/X11R6/
  544 ?        R<     0:43 /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp

I have put the resulting X log files at:
	http://www.soton.ac.uk/~ajl199/xlogs/

The machine is an ibook G3 900 and its graphics card according to lspci is:
	ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

Any ideas? 

Many thanks again,

Adrian.
