So what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? I'd guess that it's not finding what it thinks is an acceptable refresh rate for the monitor.

The monitor is a laptop LCD screen. See my xorg.conf at http://www.atopia.net/scratch/xorg.conf. I also tried stretching the screen in my bios, that stretches the console but X still starts in a small window in the middle of my screen. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 2675DVD.

The log file doesn't say much at all. Did you want me to post that as well?

[Please don't top-post, it makes replying difficult.]

/var/log/Xorg.0.log should show where X is going wrong. X is usually pretty wordy about what it's doing.

If it's a refresh rate problem, setting it to 60 Hz should work without any visible flicker on the LCD.

Some of those model of Satellite appear to have come with a 1024x768 screen, so that's worth trying also.
