Hello Mark,
Thanks for your email.
I have added this option to the Device section.
Option "NoDDC"
It does'nt however allow X to start up, i.e. it does'nt fix the
problem.
I don't understand why X tries to load it up, if i've already
specified that this option is not required. Does it blind load ever
module, but not initialise them through the NoDDC option.

X core dumps when I execute startx as root.
