X server crashing using Viper 330

[ahickey@bayou.uh.edu]

Hello everyone,
I am having problems running X with my Diamond Viper 330 AGP 
with Debian 2.0.  The xserver crashes with the
infamous error 111, however I know it can and will work.

First of all, it worked fine with RH 5.1, and second, the xf86config
program runs fine and it runs the xserver without problems in the 
resolution that I select.  I recently ran dselect and updated all the 
packages via ftp, so everything should be up to date.

I noticed that the amount of videoram detected is 256k,  I have 
since fixed this in the XF86Config file setting it to 4096k.  I have 
tried all sorts settings in this file by setting the chipset to Riva128, 
setting the boardname to Viper 330, and even a ramdac setting.  
All of these I have alternately commented out trying different 
combinations, while leaving the ram set to 4096.

I now think that the problem is not in the XF86Config file, but is
elsewhere.  Below I have posted my X-server output.

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.

xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server

xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.
----------------------------------

I think the solution may lie in the first three lines, although I'm
not sure.

Here are some settings under the XF86Config file
