Jarmo:
Thanks so much for your help with this. I now have a better idea of what to try next, which is better than nothing!
On one hard drive (of 30) I attempted to upgrade XFree to 4.2.0, which worked, but which now only gives a very simple desktop with three terminal windows (2 black and 1 white)and an "analog" clock.
No hotkey combination or mouse action would pop up a menu. Exiting the white terminal window would close the GUI and return me to a command prompt.
When I attempted to run XF86Config, it started, but promptly dumped core and segmentation faulted. Using switchdesk produced no changes, either.
Guess I'm just jinxed with this install!
Thanks again!
Tim
