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 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.
