Yeah, it is kind of a mess. Xf86config is not found from the shell prompt. Apparently the machine can detect the vc and monitor at installation, but not when it boots. On the first boot I get a

(ww)Radeon-no matching device section
(ee)no devices detected

I swiched to the on board video and all seems to work fine, but this is not ideal. dang it!

Oh, at the shell prompt I type startx and the message says:

Couldn't start XServer
Trying with fresh configuration

Then the screen blinks a couple of times and then it says:

cannot find any screens

any suggestions?
