So, it is very hard, but somewhat possible to login and to navigate to some
places. Attached are the various files you requested. The xorg.conf default
loaded withthe install, the .myedit version is my attempt to use the old
pattern  to work. I had not looked at the log files, they are quite an
education. I will study them, as I see at a glance there are different
configuration patterns in the 9.10 Koala.
Thanks for your help and encouragement. Yours, Ted P.
