Well I tried the above (and some other "forced" options), and lost all
X11 functionality and applications!

Re-installed the original XFree86, etc., and am back up again.

Guess I'll move this thread to debian-laptop ... trying to get an X
server on my Dell Dimension that'll show both the monitor and

Thanks for all the help,
