I managed to configure it well enough to get into Fluxbox, but when I exited out from X, the system would hang.  I ended up having to hard-shut it down after it hung.  Now I cannot get back into X.  When I run 'startx', the system hangs.

- try if your box is reachable via network (ssh). if yes, kill XFree86
  this should relinquish your console

- look through /var/log/XFree86.0.log

- which kind of graphic card are you using?

- break your lines after 65 characters, so your e-mails become more
  readable to us
