I get the same error message, but X still starts for me, both with
"startx" from the console and with graphical log-in via kdm. Therefore I
would guess that you have an additional problem. Do you find any error
messages or warnings in the log files after you try to start X?
Try to run
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Maybe that will turn up something useful to diagnose the problem.
