The one in /bin was an old one, so I showed it the door. So it is now using
/usr/bin/X11/startx, but still get the same errors.

The output of ls -l is this:

-rwxr-xr-x  1  root  root  3090  Oct 5  07:02  /usr/bin/X11/startx

The original was a v3.9* from the Debian 2.2r2 PPC non-US cd set. but I
installed XFreeV4.02 from a set of tgz binaries.
