Troubleshooting X

[Stephen Andert]

I am trying generic monitor at 800x600 and I know that both my monitor and 
video card can handle several steps more than that.  The "No devices 
detected" error makes me think it is something whong in the setup.

What really bugs me is that the install is gui and somehow it autodetects 
that, but can't do it to get X running after the install shuts down.
