[plug] GeForce Video card question

[Chris Griffin]

All this I have done, and more. Text does work all the way up to the X 
install/config. When it goes to start the xserver for the first time to 
test the config, it fails. During the install, where I select the software 
to install, which xserver should I be selecting? The SVGA one? I thought I 
might be selecting the wrong one.
