RE: I can't start the x-windows

I have had the same problem. Re start xconfig, and use simple option for monitor modes where it just asks for the monitor size. Select the resolutions you like, and it should work.

I had a similar problem
I am using a nvidia geforce2 MX with XFree86 v. 4.1 nv drivers. I didn't 
bother downloading the drivers from nvidia.com
The next step was to edit my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and comment the line 
under the "Section Device" UseFBDev.
Hope this helps
ian
