Hi William,

After you configure the video, or X, or whatever it's called, you're asked 
whether you want to test the video. If you say yes, and if your video config 
is such that you cannot get back control, or if it hangs, then your install 
is pretty much blown.

So just go ahead and say no when it asks you if you want to test the video 
configuration. In other words, configure the video but do not test it.

By the way, I've had fantastic success performing X repair by booting a 
Knoppix CD and then copying the resulting XF86Config-4 to the OS in question.
