Well, you saved me the trouble of rebuilding a kernel for now! 8^) I should add a couple more pieces of info: I have now done fresh installs of 4.2 on 3 different PCs. One has a Matrox Millenium, one has ATI Mach64, and the newest one has ATI 3D Rage Pro. I've had the same result on all 3. If I'd never set up X before, I'd figure I did something wrong and RTFM more carefully. But I *did* set it up, with Gnome and Afterstep (no longer an option), on both the Matrox and Mach64 PCs before. And it worked. Then I cvsup'd from 4.1 to 4.1.1 sometime in October on the Matrox box (currently a test machine for me), and that's when it stopped working. I'd hoped a fresh install would help, but that didn't cure the problem, either. I'd appreciate any thoughts as well!
