As newbie to newbie...

   You could spend more time trying to figure that stuff out than it 
would take to do a reinstallation and letting the system configure as it 
goes. JMHO.
Usually default selections work Ok  and will give you time to figure out 
how to tweak it later. You could set it up as a simple SVGA just to get 
it working. What do you have to loose?
