Thanks guys, it worked.  I don't know anything about using unix really yet, so I couldn't even understand what the man page told me...but thanks for the syntax, it worked.  Now it gives me a new error:

(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
Fatal Server Error:
no screens found

Is that talking about the monitor?  Maybe I have to install that or something?  I just used the script that came with the XFree86 4.0 that I got so I'm not sure what the config is.  I looked in the log file it told me about with some viewer or another that I couldn't figure out how to get out of, but it didn't say any more than what I put in the error above.  Did anyone else out there have this much trouble trying to get their Xwindows to got up and running for their first time?  I know most of it is because I don't know anything about unix yet, but I seem to not be able to figure anything out very quickly.

Bryan
