[Plug] XFree86 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 problem & other stuff

["Vale Kenny" <vkenny@quarterleaf.com>]

Ok, I've finally got X running on the Inspiron..which is one of the problems.
Problem 1)  Log file readout:

GnomeUI-WARNING **: While conecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected

I think this is related to the different XF86_Mach64 driver I had to
install..will this affect the performance of X (I'm not overly concerned with
the security of the situation)?  It's getting written frequently to the log, and
I don't want to get my logs to fill up unnecessarily as well.  How do I turn it
off?  I don't think it's as simple as blowing away the entry in ~/.Xauthority.

Problem 2) putting vga=791 in lilo.conf
it makes the text on the command line (not in X) compressed at the bottom, like
the bottoms of the lines are being pressed up, resulting in an odd looking
screen, and while quite readable, still annoying..

Problem 2A) in X with vga=791 in lilo.conf
everything looks hazy..like there is a thin mist around the edges of
everything..again quite readable, but even more anoying..however, I cannot be
sure that this is specifically related to vga=791, because I have not been able
to see the screen before adding the vga= line...

Problem 3) Log file readout:
** CRITICAL **: file gsm-protocol.c: line 602 (gsm_protocol_new): assertion
'GNOME_CLIENT_CONNECTED (gnome_client"' failed.
this is fiollowed by a warning line referencing the gnome_client as well, so I
figure they're both related.  Is this due to me having to do a ctrl+alt+bksp? 
(why I'm doing that see problem 4)

Problem 4)
When I tell X & Gnome to logout, it does not take.  it just sits there.  I
haven't even begun to look into this, but I figured I'd throw it in here
anyway..

Suggestions?
Peace,
Vale
