Re: problems starting X
I saw a couple things in your "Screen" section that should be changed. For the sake of argument, I will assume that you have at least 2MB of video RAM. That being said, here are my suggestions:
1. The "Virtual" line seems to be manadatory on a Mac. Without it, I experienced the flashing screens you mentioned. Uncomment yours, and try "Virtual 1024 768" (no quotes) to start out with.
2. Change the argument for "Modes" from "default" to the following:
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" # these should be acceptable
# even on a 15" monitor
3. I would probably remove the subsections for Depths 1, 4, and 24 also.
4. The only other difference I noticed was that I have an explicit "ViewPort" line after the "Modes" line. It's "ViewPort 0 0"
