I did a complete reinstall, in case something had gone wrong originally. I had hoped to do a repair, but it isn't offered as an option on the menu, so I guess it must be an option when you interrupt the install disk with F1.
Anyway, the end result is the same as before. I have described the display to James, below. When I got back to the cli it said that it had lost connection with the X server. Can the XFree issue you mentioned be sorted from here, and if so how? Sorry if I seem dense, but I am so tired. I have been wrestling this one for hours and don't seem to be making any progress.
