Thanks, everyone. The initial problem was discussed here: <<< Perhaps you could try reversing it to "60-75" (aka 60 Hz to 75 Hz). It seems this was an error discussed earlier in these forums as well (perhaps a configuration error?). >>>
The problem is that in the XConfig file, it has VertRefresh 75-60 (should be 60-75). Apparently both 4.0.1 and 4.0.0 have this problem - really strange that it's not fixed in the new versions. Anyway, I think there may be an even easier way to fix it - type "setup" at the root prompt. It will give you a bunch of options, one of which is to set up XWindows again. I did this, and it worked great!
