I was hopeful here.  I did as outlined and after running = Xorg
-configure, the file /root.xorg.conf.new was produced.  I= got a message
stating how to test the xserver.  And I still c= ouldn't start x.

It's complaining a bit less than it did before, but= I'm still getting
these lines of error messages:

If I need to = reconfigure the kernel, fine.  However, I need to be told
specifically what to do.

To refresh, this is my graphics/video i= nfo:

Graphics integrated into the system board into the system board= : - an
Intel i810 chip.
Specifics:

Integrated Intel Direct AGP= Graphics Accelerator with Dynamic Video
Memory (DVM) technology architecture.

Other details are as follo= ws (I provide this in case it is thought that
I should have installed an= extra kernel module):

Graphics architecture:  Intel Dynam= ic Video Memory (DVM) technology

Graphics accelerator: Intel Direct Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)<= br>2D and 3D graphics accelerator

Display cache: 4 MB, 100-MHz synch= ronous dynamic random-access memory
(SDRAM)

Graphics memory: Dyna= mically assigned from system memory

Video resolutions

800 x 600 pixels; 85 hertz (Hz) refresh ra= te with 16.7 million colors
1024 x 786 pixels; 85 Hz refresh rate with 6= 4,000 colors
1280 x 1024 pixels; 85 Hz refresh rate with 256 colors
1600 x 1200 pixels 75 Hz refresh rate with 256 colors

The computer i= s a Dell Optiplex GX100 and the monitor is a Dell E551,
