Thanks for the tip, but this was hopeless. I don't understand how, but the
YellowDog and Mandrake distributions manage to configure X fine on my
machine, during the installation, without me having to answer _ANY_
questions. The only reason I am not using them is that I can't get my
wireless card working there.
Using the suggested command below presented a sequence of questions that I
tried to answer as best I could. The result was no better than I had before.
if YellowDog and Mandrake does it and Ubuntu doesn't, then there is
possibly a bug somewhere in the way Ubuntu does things. You should
file a bug report, or look in Malone to see if there is already one in
there like yours.
I would guess that /var/log/Xorg.0.log has some hints of what's
going wrong. but without seeing that log, or your xorg.conf file you
get at installation, it's difficult to say.

regression) and should be reported as such.
