Re: ack! x has been hosed
For the fonts, you need at least xfntbase, and xfnt75 is probably
necessary, too.
For the video modes, I think there is no problem. Xfree 3.3 seems to give
much more choice than before. look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
Some modes are for low-end hardware, others for 21" (or 25") or bigger
monitors with fast graphic cards... Great.
You should have at least this mode working :
# 800x600 @ 60 Hz, 37.8 kHz hsync
Modeline "800x600" 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628
+hsync +vs
ync
This worked with my old 14" (max 37.9kHz !).
So I guess you misspelled the Monitor specs.
Install more fonts. Obviously some are missing.
For example I have
xfnt75, xfnt100, xfntbase, xfntscaled installed.
You have a valid mode at 640x480 so this is not the problem.
Be sure to check HorizSync and VertRefresh in section Monitor, though.
'man XF86Config' is your friend, too.
