Thank you, everyone. X does indeed work.
I now have to figure out why the lightdm service doesn't start at
boot-up, but I can start it manually as root, then log in as myself. And
the fix?
After making sure *everything* installed properly, including the i915
driver for the graphics card (found using a Live USB stick run of
Ubuntu), I had to delete the two X config files the install dropped into
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. That's it. Delete the ones I put in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to try to get things working, delete the two
example files the install put into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d (which is
probably why the Live DVD failed), and make sure *everything* is
properly installed, because the Live DVD failed to boot into X and
therefor didn't install half of the X software.
Thank you all again for the help.
Rainer

One more question as I head out the door... Groveling around the
interwebs, I ran into a possibly related thread:
Could I still run into problems because this is a UEFI-only system?
No, on my HP Z4 G4 X11 (nvidia) doesn't work in legacy mode but UEFI
only. I just had to turn off secure boot.
