You can also kill X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at the Xwindows desktop.

I had to goof around with the mouse part of my config to get my Micro$oft
PS/2 intellimouse (Dell branded) to work. here's the relevant section:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
EndSection
Are you running moused on the console? That's caused problems for me before.

Make sure you've got the right specs for your monitor. Things either A) won't
work or B) go very boom! if they're wrong.

hmm, that VideoRam 25000 line looks odd. I'm pretty sure XFree86 wants the
video ram as a multiple of 1024. In my config file the VideoRam line is
commented out. That might be something to try. See if you can find the amount
of actuall vram used on your system.
Here's the section from my Dell OptiPlex GX110:
Section "Device"
Identifier "intel i810"
Driver "i810"
Option "NoDDC"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Another thing to try is getting all your specs (monitor, vram, mouse etc.) and
using /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config to reconfigure X. (Back up the old
/etc/X11/XF86config file first).
