Bob the first thing I would recommend is to go with as plain vanilla setting as you can. Once you get it to work then you can try new stuff. Some suggestions: 1) Use VGA16 server (SVGA may imply resolutions above 640x480) 2) If it still doesn't work try 50Mhz setting for the monitor (Or whatever option 1 is on that list :-)). 3) If still doesn't work leave RAMDAC and clock setting unset and let XF86Config come up with the values.
