[LI] Sucess with X

[Thirumani <stmani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks to all of you who have responded to my query.  I have succeeded
in starting X in my machine.  The way I did that though is still a
puzzle to me.  I was experimenting with XF86Setup and chose the higher
mode ie. 1152x864.  It worked and started.  Then I used xvidtune to go
back to my favorite 1024x768 and adjusted the position.  May some guru
in the list can throw some light explaining this behavior.

For the benefit of others I am giving my config file below.
