Ill check into it.  

I tried  X -configure after your previous email, and it first printed out :


XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System

etc etc

Server Layout "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1" (0)
Monitor "Sony LCD"
Device "ATI Rage Mobility M1"
Input Device "Mouse1"
Input Device "Keyboard1"
XKB: rules: "xfree86"
XKB: model: "pc102"
XKB: layout: "gb"

then the screen went blank (black).  System hang...
