[vox-tech] help with xorg.conf

I tried using xrandr but had no luck (see example below).  At best
when I would restart the machine, kdm would fail to launch.  That is,
I would boot to a text only login prompt.  I would have to login,
comment out the offending SubSection Display and restart.

I am wondering if I might need to remove everything associated with x
and reinstall.  And, if that is a smart thing to do, how would I go
about doing that?
