I did the xfree86 install and it worked quite well (as installation)
nowI do not have any xfree server working on, but I know (for having been working on this on debian previously) that it just a pain itself. it's simply hard to tune your xfree86 for old hardware and in dsl you don't have the debian xfreesetup, that could helop a lot.
it takes, time and pacience, just that. but for newer hardware thare should not be  any problem, i suppose..

i dont understand, i have knoppix 3.4 installed on hard disk and it have xfree, and it was auto detected, so knoppix have an autodetection system, that means which in some point on the transition of knoppix to dsl, this autodetection was stripped.
And the script to install the nvidia driver of knoppix works great, so, you can copy that.

As a suggestion, .dsl files can have an script inside that must be executed on load. This script can install anything.
Another suggestion if you split all the content of the current dsl iso in .dsl modules, you can have a module for the current X used for dsl and another optional for Xfree86, and if the user wish, another optional to the nvidia specific driver.

bye.
