I looked into XFdrake, a shell script. It appears that it makes a call
to Xconfgurator, but if I try to run Xconfigurator, I get the exact same
result as trying to execute XFdrake.

The original install left out the server, Xvfb & doc packages, which I
RPM'd later because I can't get X to run.

When the installer first failed to configure my choice of 4.0.3, I tried
to have it configure 3.3.6, but that failed in the same manner with:
"Warning: server SVGA is not available (should be in
/mnt/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86) at /usr/bin/perl-install/Xconfigurator.pm at
line 385"
