Actually I'm pretty sure that XF86Config needs to have the correct setup for
the Tosh LCD and C&T driver on this L50. /var/log/xdm-error.log reports
that it couldn't find a valid mode (video), and says it's switching back to
runlevel 3.
The end of file looks like this:
========================================
VGA16 Mode "512x384" needs vert refresh rate of 77.9Hz Deleted

switching back to runlevel 3
========================================
Neal had me set "runlevel = 3" in /etc/inittab which got me access to the
KDE desktop via 'startx'. With "runlevel = 5" set, when I run startx, a few
lines of commands scrolls by, and the system stops with a blinking cursor
sitting on the left edge of the screen. Eventually I can hit 'Enter' and
access the command line.
