I found out whats causing the lockups.  If I set the mouse's
device to /dev/gpmdata and the protocol to auto or ps/2 it hard
locks the system. Haven't found away around that, i have to stop
gpm before running X right now.

I've attached the XFree86.0.log and the XF86Config that was generated
with the 'X -configure' command with a few modifications to get it to
run at 24bit and 1024x768. 

Any help would be great.

PS: Oops forgot to attach the files.

Not right off the top of my head. We'd have to see the old configuration file
and the error(s) in the log file to diagnose the disorder and prescribe
remediation.
