X11 configuration

[Tim Shubitz]

Michael,
    I did this to myself to a brand new YDL setup on pretty much the 
exact hardware you have. What I ended up doing was logging in via 
console moved myself to /etc/X11/, moved XF86Config to XF86Config.bad, 
then moved the XF86Config.backup to XF86Config, ran startx and booyah! 
Hopefully this works for you. Have a fab afternoon.
