well i got my hopes up for a minute, there. (and thanx for the
pointer -- i wouldn't have known to try that!)
during "XFree86 -configure" the screen went blank, and some odd
color blots flashed on and off across the middle of the screen
real estate; the output looks like this:

by making a soft link in the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules directory that points
to the libglide2x.so file. For example (if your libglide2x.so file is in

XFree86 detected your mouse at device /dev/mouse.
Please check your config if the mouse is still not
operational, as by default XFree86 tries to autodetect
the protocol.
Your XF86Config file is /root/XF86Config.new
To test the server, run 'XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new'
<<<<<
and then i do
XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new
just like it says, and the bilge-plate bitmap pattern comes up
(the generic X background) with the "X" pointer in the center of
the screen -- but the mouse does nothing and the keyboard
appears to do nothing as well. (resolution looks to be about
640x480.)
i know about CTL-ALT-BACKSPACE to get out of X in a hurry, which
works, and where i then see 193 lines of output (i can send them
if it'll help). here are some snippets related to my video card:

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #52 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Would you like to GET APACHE TO HIDE CERTAIN FILES? It's
as easy as adding this to your /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
PerlModule Apache::Constants
<FilesMatch "\.hide$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlInitHandler Apache::Constants::NOT_FOUND
</FilesMatch>
Your scripts, behind the scenes, still have free access to
everything; but web browsers will be told they don't exist!
