Just wanted to mention that I now have X fully working. The issues
were:
1. Needed to 'apt-get install' x-window-system-core and x-window-system
(omittign the core X stuff seemed odd as I had selected a desktop
system install. Maybe installing basic X should be an install option)
2. Replaced 'vesa' with 'i810' in /etc/Xorg.conf
3. change XkbLayout from "gb" to "us" in /etc/Xorg.conf
4. install and configure 915resolution to get full (1280x768) LCD
resolution.
the second issue seems to be a hardware detection issue, in that a usable
but non optimal display driver was selected.
The third seems to have been an error in generating an xorg.conf file
which did not take into accout the selected install options (which in my
case was that I am located in the UK but have as US keyboard layout).
Hope that is of some use.
