I reconfigured several times trying to correct errors, and I compared the
original Xfree config file with the present xorg.config. I really don't know
how to put the matter straight. I set the default depths at 16 then later at
24. I set the default and only resolution at 1024x768 because this has
always worked. Here are snippets from the latest Xorg.log
(/var/log/Xorg.0.log):
....

...

BTW I also get font errors, like this:
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc").
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/".        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/").
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/".
        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/").
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in

        Entry deleted from font path.
        (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi").
...
I no longer get errors in the log file still the message out of scan range
is displayed after I type startx.

Your help would be much appreciated!

cheers,
libre fan
