OK, after Xautoconfig it says file was written and I exit and restart 
still in user mode 3 and then type in startx, at this time the screen 
changes several lovely shades of colors and I can see several lines of 
script in the background the last one being arch: exit and half of an X 
in the middle of the screen  but things still wont boot and I end up 
back at an error message report screen. If I open the config file that 
was created in pico is there a value I should be looking for that I can 
change. I am using the built in valkyrie video and the Apple 15" 
Multiscan monitor.

It will do it's magic and then you will need to restart

X server error 11 is usually a misconfigured XF86config file.  This
should remedy if you run Xautoconfigurator.  Another option is for
you to tell us video card and monitor and we could send you a
"working" XF86configfile.
