I have configured the X-server and some other things, but when I run X all I get is a grey (i.e., black and white display) screen that goes way off my monitor, with a mouse prompt 'X', and a frozen system (well, sort of frozen, -- the mouse moves the mouse pointer, but that is all I can do. I have to hit the 'RESET' key and reboot -- and pray the the filesystem is in order -- to do anything). I have a NEC 4FGe with an ATI Graphics Ultra Pro (I tried running with the driver for this card and with the standard VGA driver -- both gave the same, bad results...) I entered the sync frequencies right out of my monitor manual -- so the problem must be with something else.
