Then I copied that config file to /root and startx worked. It started right into KDE which I had previously set as the default. I think it was me choosing S3 instead of nvidia Geforce4 that made it work. I will mess around with it to make sure its working ok, but looks like it was the virtual environment that messed things up.

Ok, so it worked. Here are some sites I use
