Glad it worked :-) I also boot into runlevel 3 and then run 'startx'. I am attaching my
XF86Config-4. Hope its of use. Its basically the one generated by running XFree -configure
to which I added a modeline ( to get a higher refresh rate for my external monitor) and the
following options to get around the scolling hang bug.
       Option      "ShadowStatus"
        Option "LCDClock"  "200MHz"

I notice that your DRI section is enabled. Mine isnt. Does that mean you have 3D support?
