A Dell GX150 recently installed by hotline, latchaw.mit.edu fails to
startup in X. The first time it was booted up, the X server attempted
spawning too often, and Init stopped trying 

The owner of the machine then tried running Xconfigurator, with the
following settings:

PCI nVidia Varta NV6
XServer XSF86_SVGA
XFree4 Driver nv (default)

Monitor Probe
      Viewsonic 21ps
Hor    30-80 Hz
Ver    50-160 Hz

memory = 16mb
No clockchip settings.

However, X still refused to startup.
