I'll try creating a few more config files and see if I can pinpoint what
set of options give the error (I expect that to be tricky to figure out
though).
I'll also have to find an X server that'll run properly on my box before
I can actually test out the configuration... The Mach64 server completely
crashes my box and dumps me back in the SRM console when I attempt to run
it. The only one that will even startup is the Mono server, and the
display is seriously messed up with that one :-( - Well, I've always
been able to solve my X problems in the past, so I'll find a way to get
this running too :-)
