When you ran the installer, did you specify all of your settings for
your video card and monitor?

Could be that you don't have a "screen" configured for X.  Try running
"X -configure" as root from the command prompt.  It will generate a
test xorg.conf file for you to try (run X -config /root/xorg.conf.new)
and see if a blue screen with a mouse cursor appears.  If so, the new
file should work.  I believe it copies the necessary info
into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which is the system default for X.
