Trying to install one of our machines over here and everytime I go into the xwindows setup during the install everything works until it tries to restart with the adjusted settings, says it failed, would I like to try again, I tell it yes, it flashes the X with the spotted background, goes blue and has some error message that asks me yes or no about something so fast I can't read it, then it turns around and goes back to the X with the spotted background then just dies there and I can't get out of it. Is there a way to set a default Xwindows setup so that it continues the install anyways, so then I can come back later and fix it? I'll fight with Xwindows once It's fully installed, just getting there has proven a challenge. Here's the system specs.

Any suggestions is welcome. Also, as a refresher (since I haven't done an Xwindows install in years) where's the setup file for configuring Xwindows just so I know I got the right one?
