I hesitate to venture vague memories, since I haven't been a kadischi user
recently, but I'm remembering-

a) it's not that it didn't get to X, it's that X wasn't even installed, i.e. no
xorg.conf at all  (and that happened as well before I tried specifying vesa,
and most of the other non default xconfig items)

b) after going through the kadischi/anaconda code, I suspected it had something
to do with anaconda's rootpath option skipping the X config phase.  And I
assumed that the X config phase of anaconda was where anaconda decided which X
server packages to install (completely seperate from the intuitive assumption
that the default @Office and other stuff would get you an X server, since
that's all my system's /root/anaconda-ks.cfg had, and it certainly had x
installed configured and running).
