Does this happen immeiatly upon XFree86 -configure or when you
XFree86 -configure /root/XF86Config.new.
I'll assume it's the 1st. therer are 2 other ways to configure X.
xf86config or xf86configure. (I think. It's been a while since i did
this)
also see if a file /root/XF86Config.new exists. (If you aren't logged as
root also look in your home dir.) If so cp /root/XF86Config.new
/etc/X11/XF86Config and then startx.
Good luck,
Jeff Jeter
