X won't load

I have been playing with this one on and off for a couple of weeks. I have Mandrake 8.0 installed on my system. When I try to start X, the server either dies or I get a gray screen. When it has the gray screen, it just sits there and goes no further. If I run xfdrake or Xconfigurator, it does a screen test and the screen loads fine. I don't see any errors in any of the logs about what is going on either. I have tried it with 4.03 and 3.36 with the same results. The card is a CardExpert GeForce MX2.

Over at MandrakeUser, I found this info, X loads but dies or shows just a grey screen

Have you recently created a file like '.xinitrc' or '.xsessionrc' in your home directory? If so, you might have forgotten to make them executable. Run chmod 755 .xinitrc (or chmod 755 .xsessionrc).
but I haven't added any dot files, nor or there any in my home directory. Any ideas on this one?
