Almost There!

Finally, I got XFree86 4.0.3 up and running.  Didn't have to have Glide.  
Thanks for everybody's help on this.   I am almost there!  Just need a bit 
more.

After running xf86config and adding all available modes for each bit depth 
and saying "yes" to the virtual screen question, I ran startx.
It came up with a virtual screen!  (adding those extra modes must have been 
the trick).

I went and replaced the Virtual line in my 24 bit depth to "Virtual 
2400x2000" like I had in my XFree86 3.3.6 configuration.

But, I seem to be getting only 1024x768 virtual resolution with a "640x480" 
look, but I wanted 2400x2000 with the "640x480" look.

I feel crunched in a tight box.  No desktop room.  I can always use the 
paging and open apps there, but I am working with images with high dpi and I 
need all the desktop space I can get.

What else should I do?  I know it can be done.
