now I managed to start X, but without running xorgcfg. it still fails with: Error: Shell widget screenP has zero width and/or height workaround for X signal 11 is: turn off VESA frame buffer in the kernel, at least when booting. Boot to normal VGA text console, and X will start up.
xorgcfg is a deprecated utility in xorg-server 1.5 and has been removed in newer versions of xorg-server. In fact, you should be able to run Xorg without any xorg.conf. If that fails, then it's a problem which should be addressed. Thanks
