Yep, the problem is your xserver. The reason it works during install is that they use a generic vga mode. Windows does the same during the install.

Do you remember being asked by Mandy to set up your xserver during the install? That is where you need to tell it what videocard (and how much ram it has) and what monitor you have. Mandy is pretty good at automagiclly detecting them, but some times you need to be specific. I think that it is just your refresh that is wrong. You should be able to test your server setup before commiting to it. If it is wrong, it kick you back and let you change things around till you get what you need.

At this point, since this is your first try at it I'd just do a re-install to keep it simple.

Hope this helps you,
