X problems on iMac DV SE

[Jakob Malm]

Daniel, are you able to start X manually when you have logged in at the console?
  I reinstalled and selected "text-login", but I still can't get X started 
when I have logged in. Did you have to change any settings for XFree86? Should 
I use startx to start the X-server?
