Redhat 7.3

Video Card: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL AGP 2X (from /proc/ioports)

XFree86 -version:
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-8) / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 23 January 2002


I dont currently have a mouse attached, and so the mouse device is set to /dev/null.  
I have tried
the -allowMouseOpenFail but it didn't help.

I start the XFree86 -xf86config ./XFree86.conf.new after running XFree86 -configure 
and all that
happens is the screen goes black, and the keyboard stops responding.

Ctl-Alt-Backspace doesn't do anything.  The caps light test fails as well.

I have to kill the Xfree86 process with a kill -9.

The machine continues to respond to the network (ie, the kernel is fine)

To get the console back I must reboot.

XFree86 -scanpci shows:
(1:0:0) ATI card using a ATI Mach64 GM

any ideas?
