Help: Still problems w/ ATI Radeon 7000 and XFree86 4.2

I've tried doing several things with my XF86Config and I still can't
get into X.

The display goes black, and never comes back.

The server never gets past the PCI scan, never gets to loading any of
the modules in the Modules section, and never seems to identify my
card.  I can see it in the process list, chewing up lots of CPU and
going nowhere.

I've appended the output of "cat /proc/pci" and the contents of
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /var/log/XFree86.0.log to this message.

I'm using an upgraded YDL 2.1->2.2 system with kernel 2.4.18-0.8a.  My
box is an Old-World PowerTower Pro (604e), and I'm using BootX 1.2 (I
think, in case that matters, but I doubt it does).

Clues anyone?

Cheers,
  -- Bob
