I guess the video drivers didn't install. I type startx and get the following errors
You must prvide a "Screen" section in xf86config for at least one of the following graphics drivers: vga16, mono
fatal server error:
No configured graphics devices
svga is listed in the xf86config file. How do I fix?

What distro are ya using? Are you using X-win 3.3.6? If so try configuring X-windows with XF86Config. If your using XFree-4.x then use the great xf86cfg config program. That should hopefully fix your problem.

Sorry Debian... x 3.3.6 I believe. I get XF86Config: command not found. I see a xf86setup file and a config I guess I could try those.

Debian has two X configuration programs:
xf86config
XF86Setup
CASE SENSITIVE! I know it's weird that they're capitalized different -- but, y'know.
XF86Setup is a package you'll have to install (apt-get install xf86setup), xf86config should have been installed with X.
