Troubleshooting X

I hadn't tried the --reconfig flag so I'll try that.

I couldn't find the refresh rates for one of my monitors, so I'm trying with
a monitor from my kids game system to at least get it running since that one
was new enough the vendor website had some technical docs and I did get that
info.

Thanks
Stephen
