Hi Rick:

Thanks again for great support.  Followed instructions.  Ran modern
yum command to fetch xorg package, finds that its already done.  Use
rpm command to xorg package install from CentOS DVD, says package
mentioned already installed. Next, backup xorg.conf to xorg.conf-conf,
ran Xorg -configure. I did not remember what happen next. Finally reboot
PC, after signon, ran startx, and CentOS screen finally comes up. 
Hooray. 

I shall play around with this, as its different than RH73.  Will start
to install Tomcat and apps next. By the way, I ran which java and finds
that /usr/bin/java already installed, as is also JDK 1.6, which
eliminates something I was going to do on RH73.  Got to sign off for
now. Thx again.

By the way, this email is sent using Firefox browser on CentOS !

Thx, Eddie
