Can you post the relevent section (Display/Screen) of the config
file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (don't post it *all* because the
fonts/mouse/keyboard/etc are not relevent.)

Also post the output from running:

	X > logfile 2>&1 &
	sleep 10
	killall X
	cat logfile

(There should be lots of '(II)' and '(WW)' lines.)

What happens if when you run X, you press CTRL-ALT-NUMBERPADPLUS ? This
should cycle through available graphics modes.

HTH ..
