|I keep the config file in /etc so I edit it there. Apparently, after hours
|of tweaking, I now see that the monitor is running in 1280x1024 for real
|and virtual mode -- how do I set it to go into 800x600 for real and for
|virtual. (My monitor does not do 1280x1024 -- but it is trying to -- not 
|so good for the hardware...)
|
|I now get a console window. But no menu when I click on the screen with 
|the mouse (using any buttons). Is this correct? (I don't think so...)

a good book that was invaluable in setting up X for me was:

X User Tools 

available thru oreilly.
