Help setting up X!
I was running Storm, upgraded to Woody without any problems (minus the
libc6 saga :-). However some power failures encouraged me to do a full
reiser-debian install (yes I know the disks aren't supported). I've got
a quasi functional potato box right now. My networking is set up so I
can apt-get all day long, but I need help setting up Xfree. This is one
of those things that I got spoiled on during installs. I made a backup
of my XF86Config and am using it so I know that part should be fine.
But gdm fails after several flickers. I think I have MOST of the X
related packages installd. It seems to be a problem with the
fonts/font-path (I should have all of the font packages installed).
Here is the output from a failed startx attmept...

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I had to boot to windows to post
this, I think you understand my pain :-(.
TIA,
