I'm a little embarrassed that I did not include it...glancing through it, I  
see all of the modes apparently picked up by xorg, but I still can't seem to  
utilize any.  Due to length, I have linked to it: 
http://staff.norman.k12.ok.us/~wsmith/Xorg.0.log. 
 
At the current time, I have my original xorg.conf that worked fine with  
release 6.8.2.  In other words, mode and modeline-less.  If adding them 
and  
then producing another log file would be of help, I can do that. 
 
Thanks,
