Jeremy, you didn't really give us enough info to go on. Let us know about the
lines above the one you quoted. XF86Setup should save the settings you chose in
/etc/X11/XF86Config. If it didn't, there's something weird going on. Try
running XF86Setup again, and tell it not to use your existing XF86Config file
for defaults. If that doesn't work, try running the text-mode setup utility,
xf86config.
Jeremy & Larry: Look in the /etc/X11/XServer file (or is it Xserver?). The
first line should refer to the server you want to run. It'll have a reference
to something like XF86_SVGA or XF86_MACH64 etc. Change it as needed.
HTH.
