By failing to respond to the list, you've cut yourself off from a lot 
more expertise than I have. Accordingly, I have re-routed this post to 
the list, so your issue can get maximum exposure (and so others with 
similar problems may find information in the archives).

How are you starting X? With a session manager, like xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm? 
Or with "startx", or what?

If with kdm or gdm, I believe both have a gui configuration tool which 
may have options for solving your issues, but I'm not sure what the tool 
names are. Perhaps others on the list may have some suggestions.
