XFree86 just broke on PB3400 (Fri 5/28/99 AM (US))

[Mike James <mwjames@magibox.net>]

Hi, everyone--

X worked great on my PB3400 until yesterday morning (5/28/99 ~9:00 AM CDT
US). That's when I did an "apt-get upgrade" while in WindowMaker. I didn't
notice any X-related upgrade changes until I rebooted back into Linux later
in the day. Now nothing I've tried will get X going.

Did the xserver change? Or the fonts sets? (AFAIK, I made no changes other
than the apt upgrade.)

Here's what a "startx 2>startx.rr" generates:

I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to fix.
