I'll ask yet again. You can't ssh into the box? What about SYSRQ ?

Under Command Line ( init 3 ), the keyboard works, but if left
for up to 2 minutes untouched, keyboard then freezes. 5 minutes later,
monitor screen goes dark.

The file is somewhat modified ( look at Andrew's reply ). RH 8.0 no longer supports XFREE 3.3.6 configs, period. They dropped them in their 8.0 edition. RH supports by default 4.2 drivers or better.
And what does that have to do with using xf86config?
