Erik,

	Glad to hear. Most times if x fails for some reason, the xorg.conf is the 
culprit. kernel updates, even updates of the video drivers will try and install 
a default xorg.conf and mess up a completely good config. I have made a habit 
of keeping a copy of my working xorg.conf files handy to recover from these 
exact situations. It is a simple as getting things set the way you want and 
then just "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.working or whatever you like.

	If you want to take a look at my working config from an nvidia card, here is 
an example:

	In most cases, you only need to worry about the "devices" section. For ATI, 
things are a bit more complicated.
