I moved this machine to beta-linux yesterday, since it occurred to me
that GX110s might not be getting much testing. This morning, it
appeared to have taken the update, but was sitting at console login. I
tried a reboot to no avail, then tried copying in XF86Config from the
machine next door, and it's able to start X now. The diffs include:
> FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
which doesn't exist on this machine; also, it went from
Driver "accel"
Device "Nvidia Corporation|Riva TNT2 Model 64"
Monitor "User Specified Specs"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1600x1200"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

Maybe it wants "1280x1024"?
