I got X going by using XF86Setup. Initially, when done, it ran
xvidtune. Now, no such luck. I ultimately ended up removing all of the
xpackages and reinstalling, but still no. It seems to be unhappy about
a missing default font.
here's the output from startx:

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
