All:
I have included my XF86Config and the output from startx at the bottom of
this message to aid in troubleshooting. My original message directly
follows.
Thanks to Fred and Lionel Lecoq for their responses to my first post.

========================================
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have, after a couple of days of trying, been able to get startx to work.
However, when my desktop appears, it seems to be zoomed in (i.e. all the
icons are huge, resolution is grainy, menus and windows are huge and won't
fit on screen, etc.). I have tried adding 800x600 and 640x480 modes by
re-running XF86Setup, but to no avail. Whenever I look at
/etc/X11/XF86Config, the only mode it has listed is 320x204. I even tried
editing XF86Config manually to add the 800x600 and 640x480 modes, but when I
started X I had the same problem (and ctl-alt-+ didn't do anything).
I am running the potato release of Debian (and whatever version of XFree86
that comes with that) on a custom-built system. My video card is a Savage4
integrated into the motherboard (I selected S3 Savage4 (generic) on
XF86Setup) and my monitor supports 28 KHz - 70 KHz Horizontal and 40 Hz -
120 Hz Vertical refresh rates. I selected 8 bpp for my default color depth
(I couldn't get X to work with 16 bpp for some reason).
Any advice would be much appreciated. If you need any more information to
get a handle on the problem, I would be glad to provide it.
Thanks,
Mike Herrington
