You should have a file called "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Attach that
file to a message and send it to us. In that way, we should get an
extremely good indication of what is happening.

PS: Normal users will not have the right to view this file. You must
use root. If you are not sure how to go about this, then just ask.
That's what we're here for. :-)
