Ok, so I've tried everything I can think of.  I've read all the FAQs, HOWTOs, 
and even an O'Reilly book, but try as I might, I just can't get X to run on my 
Linux box.  So, can someone tell me what's up?

Stats:  Linux 1.0, XFree 2.1, ATI Mach32 VLB with 1 MB VRAM, Microsoft serial 
mouse on com1.  Selection works just great on normal terminal sessions.  
Kernel is compiled for 8 VTs.

#	These timings are set up for _my_ LB ATI Graphics Ultra Pro with 2MB
# VRAM installed.  You may need to do some fine tuning due to variations from
# card to card and monitor to monitor.  These _should_ work on a 1MB card
# without too much modification.  Here is a quick and dirty description
# of how to fine tune these timings by modifying the numbers below:
#
# bcr:  No modifications are needed for 1MB VRAM at this time.
#
# name	- Not really a number, just a label.
# clock	- Increase to reduce flicker at higher resolutions.
#	  You will have to readjust everything if you change this.
# bcr: Higher clock speeds means less flickering.  However too high
# bcr: of a clock speed means you won't be able to use your full 
# bcr: screen.
#
# horizontal timing -- all numbers are multiples of 8
# 1st	- The width of the display (in pixels) -- don't change this
# 2nd,3rd - Increase (the same amount) to move display left.
#           Decrease (the same amount) to move display right.
# bcr: X3 just seems to have random effects
# 4th	- Increase to make display narrower.
#	- Decrease to make display wider.
#
# vertical timing  -- numbers do _not_ have to be multiples of 8.
# 1st	- The depth of the display (in pixels) -- don't change this.
# 2nd,3rd - Increase (the same amount) to move display up.
#           Decrease (the same amount) to move display down.
# bcr: Y3 just seems to have random effects
# 4th	- Increase to make display deeper (taller).    
#	- Decrease to make display more shallow (shorter).

# bcr: I strongly recommend using vgaset.  (Found on sunsite.unc.edu.)
# bcr: Any mode with a verticle frequency of about 60Hz or greater should
# bcr: appear completely flicker-free.
