Boot to run level 3. To configure X, try running # X -configure which will scribble a configuration file in the current directory. Compare it to the existing configuration file to see if there are major differences. Have a look at the X log in /var/log/<whatever> to see what the problem is. % card is linux compatible Nvidia gforce with video out, M200 I think from % memory. The driver for this card is "nv".
