So, I'm willing to admit defeat.  I'm trying to install Xfree on my system at
work.  If I don't comment out the clocks line, the system goes to black and 
white and hangs (reset button time).  If I do comment out the clocks line, I
get the following:

no SIOCGIFCONF
XFree86 Version 1.0Ya / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
  VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
      et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
ATI BIOS Information Block:
   Signature code:                31 = VGA WONDER
   Chip version:                  5 =  ATI 28800-5
   BIOS version:                  0.1
   Byte at offset 0x42 =          0x11
   Byte at offset 0x44 =          0x4c

  This video adapter is a:        VGA WONDER PLUS (V6)
  Amount of RAM on video adapter: 1024k

ATI driver requires "clocks" to be set in Xconfig!

	*** None of the configured devices was detected.***


Fatal server error:
no screens found

giving up.
xinit:  Invalid argument (errno 22):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.


Can someone help?  My Xconfig file is posted below. 
Feel free to flame away.  I'll take any input.  Thanks in advance.

# These aren't very good choices as the refresh rates are 59 Hz and 57 Hz,
# respectively. They were created while testing the driver and were intended
# to be as true to the standard VGA modes as possible (as I was trying to
# follow the programming examples in the ATI Programmer's Ref. Manual, to get
# something working, which I could use as a base). 640x480 should be identical
# to ATI mode 62h. 800x600 uses the same clock as mode 63h, but the values
# were computed using Chin Fang's tutorial (working backwards with a 36 Mhz
# clock and a visual resolution of 800x600).
