Yes, I was logged in as root.
I was looking and could not find a configuration file, so I started reading the docs. They refer to setting the X- software during the installation, but that option was not presented to me. I can install v5.2.1 and it will be right there. But on v5.3, it isn't there.
The docs on the CD also referred to using : Xorg -configure You've read the error that I got.
So, I headed for the Xorg website and downloaded some of their PDF help files.
These two pages are part of the same online document which you can download in PDF format.

Xorg only has a 1280x1024 mode. My old laptop supports an 800x600x18 screen. (As opposed to the 800x600x16 that I posted before.) Xorg supports 8 and 24 bit color.

OK, so what you meant to say is something like "X.Org only supports 8 and 24-bit modes at 1280x1024 for the SGI newport cards."
Now, is that really the card you have? I'm rather dense, but I thought you said you have a Gateway laptop, not an SGI workstation with a "newport" video card in it ...
