I'm not sure which driver was installed during original installation,
but it seems as during the installation the xorg.conf was not created
and therefore X not working. I assume that is also why text terminals
don't show up. ctrl +alt F4, etc.
I could probably do a dpkg-reconfigure style commands to see what
actually fails if you can't figure it out from the logs I've attached.
I've provided the xorg.0.log and xorg.0.log.old so hopefully that has
some info on it.
Thanks,
