When you go to do the XFree config, wich option do you choose? Do you select 
the graphical option? On various installs I have found that method to be a 
real pain in the ass and it never seems to work right. Use option 3, Its not 
graphical but its not exactly command line either. Its goes through each 
section step by step. I dont know weather it will help you out , but give it 
a go. 

Good Luck

David
