Perhaps you should try getting X to write a configuration file for you to modify, rather than trying to write one from scratch yourself. The normal way if doing this is to run # Xorg -configure when X isn't running. That will create an xorg.conf in the current directory which you can move to /etc/X11/ and test it at first with no modification, to see if X still runs ok. If so, then try modifying it. BTW have you yet tried changing the font size in a VC instead of changing the resolution? Are you still there? Cheers, David.
