Welcome Tshepang,
Hope all is well in SA!

I digged around lists.debian.org and found similar problems experienced by others, only that they didn't help. I'm running Woody 3.0r2. Is it possible to successfully run X without upgrading any software and if so how. Thanks.
If you give LONG output, it is good if you shorten it. For X output,
look for the EE or WW output (error,warnings)

You seem not to have FONTS installed! I think people say to install
'x-window-system' or 'x-window-system-core' at least. This should fix
that!

Not sure about this. have you tried 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' ?
Also, give details like which version you use (stable,testing,unstable),
which kernel you have, maybe details about what you tried and what
hardware is having problems.
