	Yes.

Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so is followed by 
several screens listing radeon drivers.

	Then there are screens full of lines each saying "not using 
default mode" followed by a size, followed by "(vrefresh out of range)" 
or in some cases "(hsync out of range)"

	After some other stuff, there are more such screens -- lots of 
them. Finally, [btth@Thpd30 log]$ cat Xorg.0.log|most ends with :

	After being offline a while (I had a mini-stroke.), I have just 
tried that. It made the whole screen go black, except for the useless 
left panel; but I can still get into it from a PC, both with ssh and with 
ssh -X; and ssh -X with the CLI launch still produces the defective 
window with swaths missing on the right side and the bottom.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
