i am having problems installing X in lm8,

i chose the exact same options as i chose in lm7.2 (which worked fine),
xfree3.3.6. panasonic tx1565, maxi gamer xentor32, 1024x768 16bit, but
the test keeps failing, i have tried other cards in the setup that also
have tnt2/tnt2 ultra chipsets, i have tried lower resolutions different
colour depths, i have reinstalled with the other two options -
xfree4.0.3 and experimental xree3.3.6 with 3d acceleration, nothing
works,

i have managed to get an error message in the console that refers to a
failure to load 'module pixmap' and 'module pcidata' or something like
that but this is pretty much all klingon to me, i searched the archives
but didn't find anything i could use,

i can understand there being a problem with a different xserver to one i
have used before but the same one?
i have run Xconfigurator as root and had the same problem, maybe i
should reinstall 7.2 and do an upgrade, but i don't know how cleanly lm8
upgrades from lm7.2,

any suggestions?
