Is this ever a case of the blind leading the blind. However, I have sort of a divide and conquor approach with respect to X. I try to get X working SOMEWAY and then adjust from there. That being the case, I have a theory (and I would like to know if others think that it's valid) that the easiest way to get X working is via the frame buffer device. The reason is that the frame buffer device is a lot more tolerant. So, if you continue to have problems, you might consider trying an approach using the frame buffer device just to see if it works. If it does, you're lucky and that identify where you're having toruble.
