install on 9600

[Terrence Bradshaw]

Try pluging a monitor into the onboard video (this a "just to see", X 
shouldn't come up on that video unless there is a monitor attached, but 
who knows)  Also, do you have a DB15 mac video to HD15 VGA adapter hanging 
in the onboard video? That could be causing problems.

Finnally, try Xautoconfig --safe then startx.
