Thanks Nick and Volker, I looked back at the installation choices and the choice seemed pretty clear, something like "base install plus X window (no KDE or Gnome) so it's probably loaded the base system. During the installation, it did report that certain files were needed, (all X something or other) which I so did by checkmarking them, then it proceeded to load quite happily.
I did "XFree86 -configure" and got the message "Fatal server error: Module load failure" "Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o Duplicate symbol, NVWaitVSync in: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o Looking at the log (but not understanding too much) on the very last line it repeats the message: "Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o Duplicate symbol, NVWaitVSync in: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o Could this duplicate symbol be the reason for the failure to load a module? or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.
