I have systems with a GeForce 2 and a 4. The install doesn't use any of the 
advanced modes. When you use x-windows, you have to install the driver for 
the version that you have such as GeForce4 MX-440 and etc. I rarely do an 
x-window config on the base install. I want the machine running before I 
configure x-windows. You never know when you might have to press 
<ctl><alt>backspace to kill your x-windows session. I also don't like using 
sysinstall to do port installs but when you are starting out, it makes a 
successful install more likely. 

You can configure x-windows later by running xf86cfg.
