You can also kill X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at the Xwindows desktop.

I had to goof around with the mouse part of my config to get my Micro$oft=
=20
PS/2 intellimouse (Dell branded) to work. here's the relevant section:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
EndSection
Are you running moused on the console? That's caused problems for me befo=

Make sure you've got the right specs for your monitor. Things either A) w=
on't=20
work or B) go very boom! if they're wrong.

hmm, that VideoRam 25000 line looks odd. I'm pretty sure XFree86 wants th=
e=20
video ram as a multiple of 1024. In my config file the VideoRam line is=20
commented out. That might be something to try. See if you can find the am=
ount=20
of actuall vram used on your system.
Here's the section from my Dell OptiPlex GX110:
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel i810"
Driver "i810"
Option "NoDDC"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Another thing to try is getting all your specs (monitor, vram, mouse etc.=
) and=20
using /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config to reconfigure X. (Back up the old=20
/etc/X11/XF86config file first).
