One thing that would help is what is the message you get when you attempt to start your Xserver? Have you run XfreeSetup (or XfreeConfig) and set up your machine? In order for Xfree to run, you need to have a symlink established to the correct server for your video card, has this been done?

As far as the message below goes, either your pretty trusting or really desperate:=0

Is there anyone on this mailing list that is willing to telnet to my machine and login as root (I will give you a temp. IP and password) to look around at why my X Server is not functioning. I have tried numerous things and got some good leads from Lenz but I cannot figure out what is wrong. If there is anyone I would appreciate a private e-mail to mathowel@nmsu.edu thanks a lot matt howellmathowel@nmsu.edu

I don't think it's really necessary to have root priviledges to diagnose the problem. User account access should allow read rights which should be sufficient for the task.
