Upgrading from XFree86 to XOrg
I have a Gentoo Linux machine which was using XFree86 because I didn't feel like
updating to XOrg for a little while because it was working nicely
so I figured why fix it if it is not broken? Anyway, I have it update
my system on a cron job, so XOrg was installed and it looks like XF86Cfg was
uninstalled, but now my xdm looks horrible. I have an LCD monitor
which has these modes, 800x600 H: 37.88KHz V:60.3Hz, 800x600 H:48.08KHz
V: 72.2Hz, and 800x600 46.87KHz V: 75Hz. If possibly maybe I could
play with 1024x768 H: 48.36JHz V: 60Hz or even 1280x1024 H: 63.98KHz V: 60.02Hz.
Though, I mainly need at least one 800x600. I have tried using my old
XF86Config, xorgconfig, and even Xorg -config. I seem to be close
but still it looks completly messed up. It is someone readable but
very very "noisy." I have tried everything. I would paste my config
if I wasn't in console.
When I upgraded my xfree86 to xorg, I had a similar problem that I resolved by backing up my xfree86 config, removing it as well as the xorg.config symlink and reconfiguring the xserver using xorgconfig and it worked fine afterwards.

No luck so far but....
No luck so far. This is the closest I have been with xorgconfig:
adam.250free.com/xorg.conf. Thanks for the help. Hopefully this
will get fixed soon. I have been working on it forever.
