The problem has been sorted out - for some reason or another when I
ran Xconfigurator there was no Config file being written even though
Xconfigurator probed and found my video card.

To resolve the problem I ran XF86Setup, made a few guesses and presto,
it created a Config file in the /etc directory.

Now when I run "startx" I get the required result.  Now  I need to
learn how to change the screen resolution and the number of colours
(256, High Colour, etc).

Thank you all for your suggestions and advice.  

Cheers,

John
