I've had good and bad luck configuring X via editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf

It either works or the whole system hangs, needs to be rebooted and  
sometimes goes into X is up but you can't do anything, or switch  
terminals, cntl-alt-backspace.

turning on UFW with a default policy of accept seemed to fix slow  
booting, sometimes switching
between consoles takes 2-3 minutes if X is involved.
