XF86Setup launches a simple vga mode on start-up, but after i have finished
the configuration it also tests the configuration...so XF86Setup started up
the svga server with 1024x768 and 16bpp and it looked okay. from the
command-line i am root and it's not working either. the above is the output
i get on startx, except for a line saying something that x is shutting down
now...

thanks!
