Peter, did you try the IBM tutorial on setting up X that I sent you? For anyone else thats interested the address is http://www-105.ibm.com/developerworks/education.nsf/linux-onlinecourse-bytitle/3100FF4795B3F31F86256AF70056FDB3?OpenDocument
It gets you to set up X from scratch, but following a very easy path. (IMHO). You have to register with IBM, but its not a hassle (also IMHO).
