Hi Bob, Are there indications in your Xorg.log that it failed communicating with HAL? I had recently exactly the same problem. In my case the reason for the problem was as follows: The standard x11 installation is relying on HAL to find out the input devices for x11. The problem disappeared after I installed the "communication" fset (which contains hald). Another workaround was, of course, to create my own xorg.conf manually (which I did before I figured out the hald dependency) ;)

I got past the error Danny now has by picking a different fset. Instead of picking "appframework", I picked "traditional desktop". This got me to a nice desktop screen with green grass. On the EeePC the touchpad didn't work so it was somewhat useless w/o a usb mouse. Just throwing that out there. Lots of bugs still.
