Thanks for your help. In response to your questions:
I'm using xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
didn't do anything - I entered it into a terminal after starting x, and another prompt appeared.
No error messages or anything else. I tried again after closing X, both as me and as root, same result.
My xorg.conf file is pasted below.
egrep - results pasted below
lspci - command not found
xpdyinfo - results pasted below
[all of these run from a window after starting X]
Cheers,
Tyler
