Did you install Xfree86 4 or 3.3.6 when it prompted you? If you're not =
failure with Xfree86 and/or have a semi-obscure video card, you will =
want to make sure that you go with 3.3.6. Version 4 is very new and =
lacks the wide range of video card support and pleasant setup/config =
utilities.
If that's not the case, it sounds like you're missing some libraries or =
the ld.so.conf isn't setup correctly, broken links, or something weird =
like that.
You might try flipping to an alternate screen (alt+function key) and =
logging in as root and doing a:
find / -name libx11.so.* -print
and report back your findings to us along with the contents of your =
/etc/ld.so.conf file (cat /etc/ld.so.conf). Be sure to include other =
information like your video card model, etc. It might also be worth =
checking for errors in your /var/log/messages file (type: less =
/var/log/messages as the root use.. shift+G will take you to the bottom =
of the file and q willl exit).
One other thing would be to run XF86Setup and make sure you have the =
right card chosen, etc.
