Here are the requested infos about my problems in configuring X (blank
screen + system hangs). One time the server has started, but it hung at
the first mouse click.

I am using kernel 2.0.27, libraries, etc. coming from redhat-4.1.
Monitors' settings should be correct: I copied them from the manual...
