an f10 install, minimum defaults from purchased dvd.
Only sda1 is formatted by installer; /boot not a separate partition.
Grub initially installed into 1st sector of sda1, left mbr alone.
Later Grub also installed into mbr of sda.
Currently booting into level 3, experiencing trouble with X-server

yes, it is.

Adding just the Monitor section seemed to work, at least initially:

Now seems caught in some sort of mix of errors from
X server, Window manager, startx:
[root@localhost ~]# system-config-display -v

Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer)

[root@localhost ~]#
it says "X server started successfully"
but then " Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on display ':17.0'."
With that error, it may be silly to try startx, but i did anyway:
]# cat startxlog
[root@localhost ~]# startx

xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority

then another

why no current(may 10) Xorg log?
