okay, i've gone thru
XFree86 -configure
xf86cfg
xf86config
and "startx" always borks out with errors. but after "xf86config" with a
slew of textual q&a, i try
XFree86 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config
i actually DO get a boilerplate background with the centered X
(altho it's apparently oversized -- as if displaying 800x600 on
a 640x480 close-up).
i'm hoping someday soon i manage to get a window to display,
even if it's an empty box.
what's the next step for a newbie in getting X back to the glory
days of potato? (i had it working back then, and it seemed
alarmingly easy by comparison. maybe i had a lobotomy and didn't
know it...?)

Wondering why the pundits say that CSH SCRIPTS ARE CONSIDERED
HARMFUL? Although "tcsh" has improved on "csh" there are still
issues. For the full scoop, read
