OK, a copy of my /etc/XF86Config follows later in this mail.
You might want/need to modify some things depending on your monitor/mouse
setup etc.
I read a bit closer at exactly what problems you were having and they sound
very much like those I had with XFree86 3.3.5 (white box, text just black
squares.) Those went away when I changed to XFree86 3.3.6 (which is the
latest stable realease of XFree86)
I would strongly suggest you upgrade to XFree86 3.3.6
