Which version of X are you using?  It makes a big difference.  You have to 
set up 3.3.6 one way, and 4.0.1 (or 4.0.2) an entirely different way.

What does "Most don't display correctly" mean?  Please elucidate.  It sounds 
as though you didn't limit the number of displays (there are quite a few 
possible, and I doubt you need them all).

X can be touchy, but as of version 4, installation and setup are a lot easier,
 not that tweaking isn't necessary.
