Usually when it tests OK it will work OK (though I've had cases on really obsolete hardware where it tested OK but refused to work after rebooting). You can try Xconfigurator or XF86config to see if they will configure something well enough to get X started. It will help a lot if you find out what graphics card/chipset is in use and how much display RAM there is. > > My login prompt is in text mode not Gnome.
