On 2nd try it turned out to indeed have generated it. But now another
odd thing happens. "Xorg -config xorg.conf.new" does work. When I adjust
it adding HorizSync, VertRefresh, and Modes "1024x768", it still does.
When I copy xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, "Xorg -config
xorg.conf" does work. But when I do "startx", it fails claiming "NVidia
unknown chipset", "failed to open /dev/mem (Permission denied)" and
"Fatal server error: no screens found". I don't get this. I've tried
several options, including some that froze up the video and forced me to
remotely reboot the machine. At this point I feel like reinstalling OBSD.
