It appears that a reboot after a failed setup has fixed some things
but not all.
A fresh install will now work.
I have also tried to rescue my old install by using reinstall, X will
now start but looks very strange. Black has replaced colors like my
text. So now in my xterm I have long black boxes. I am going to try
and install prev and see if that will clear things up.
