That failed. I did try it. The problem is that libddc.a and a few others had
somehow gotten out of line or disappeared (hdd hiccough?).

I finally determined that the error was
(EE) i810: Failed to load module "ddc " (module does not exist (0)
I checked my XF86Config and could find nothing even erferring to this moduel.
I went to #xfree86 on freenode and someone told me to find libddc.a
which was nowhere to be found.
(input/output error when checking the directory in which they were to reside...
So I reloaded the modules from the RH CDs and I am back up and running.
Worried about my hdd, but running...
