Hi Amira,

from my little experience the solution for this is to remove the font which i 
causing the problem (e.g GLcore, speedo ...) then try again 

#startx 

another nice solution is to insert a Knoppix /kanotix live cd and then copy 
the /etc/X11/XFree86-4 file to the original /etc/X11/XFree86-4 

and use it .

If did not work send back the exact error message,

salam
