Hi Art, good to hear from you again.

Did you get the xorg upgrade?  I seem to still be on xfree but xorg is
clearly in the works.  Oh, you said Xfree86 below...

I'd bet the problem is in your XF86Config file.  Can you post (or send
it to me) with the XFree86 log?  I'll take a closer look.

I usually use KDM but I see that quitting that and using startx works 
fine (some of the fonts seem different, but oh well).

If you have symptoms like this thread:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2005/07/msg00032.html

where X starts but fails to do anything useful, the problem may be in 
your session setup stuff.  That seems to be in xfree86-common so maybe 
reinstalling or reconfiguring that package will help.

Sorry I can't be more definitive.

Dave
