^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
why did you do this?! its not right. leave them as they were before. all you
need to run startx is an Xconfig file. but donot just copy some other Xconfig
files! they may not be suitable for your hardware and may damage your terminal.
read the docs and readmes in /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc, especially modeDB.txt, then
make your own Xconfig file.
