Re: Help with X (after upgrade to Woody)

Thanks to everyone!

Yep, packages that should have been present were missing. In particular,
xbase-clients (which contains startx, which was indeed missing) and
xfonts-base as folks suggested.  Are these kinds of problems common in
upgrading to Woody?  Donald mentioned that he'd seen xfonts-base missing on
a few upgrades.  I have no idea why xbase-clients was missing ...

I installed the missing packages and now X works fine! And now I know a lot
more about selecting X servers and troubleshooting by reading the logs (for
some reason, it didn't occur to me that X would have logged stuff; I'm still
learning).

Thanks again!
