http://slexy.org/view/s2yThC1dnb xorg.conf
http://slexy.org/view/s20YSwsniH /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

I removed the record extension from ../xorg/modules.
The rate for 1280x1024x60 was set on OB prompt.
As you see in the logfile, modules are disabled then enabled.
The card is detected.
I also set Options "AllowEmptyInput" "Off" so it wouldn't disable devices.
Now, there is no output to the monitor, just a blank screen. Rates are set
to manufacturer's descriptions.
In theory, the screen should be active; but, in reality a lot of modules
load with no result.
1) Do I need to disable the framebuffer in xorg.conf or by sysctl?
2) I see the refresh rates, modes, and etc in the logfile. Do I copy these
values to xorg.conf?
3) Do I need to run -v 9 when running X -config *new? I use that command
from the /root with xorg.conf.new.
