Below is se output from startx. Monitor and OS work fine with Diamond Viper V550 PCI. AGP ATI Expert 98 causes this problem. System. Gigabyte GA-5AX (r4) motherboard. AMD K6 II 400 cpu 64Mb Maxtor 10Gb ATA66 disk Creative Soundblaster PCI 128 Hansol 701p Monitor. No choice on card as Xconfig defines card so can not select. After Xconfigurator Xwin works OK until re-boot.
