It was due to my misunderstanding of how the Novice install works. After selecting the X-Developer distribution, I got a popup asking if I wanted Des. I selected Yes, then got to the screen where you select which bits of XFree86 you want. At this point I realised I should have selected No since the CD was exported from the US and presumably doesn't have DES on it. At this point the last selection in the menu says something like "Go Back" which I interpreted as Undo, so selected it. However it didn't really mean that, and I never saw that screen again, so presumably I had unknowingly selected a subset which didn't include the Monitor database. I redid the whole install and now I have it. Apologies if anyone wasted time on this.
