OK, it is getting clearer:
1. you are running XFree 3.3.6 and not Xfree 4.0.x
2. You have only 320x204 as a mode line!!! I don't
know what happened there.
I would approach the problem as follows:
1. rename the /etc/X11/X to X336 just to be sure you
can fall back on your feet
2 create in /etc/X11 a symlink to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 and name it X
This will give you XFree 4.0.x
3. check whether in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 you have a
more reasonable screen section
I am giving you **extracts** from an ** XF86Config-4
** which I think could get you going with ** XFree
4.0.x ** (i.e you have to have redirected X to the
**right** server as indicated above)
