xserver fails to start
Hello.
X does not start on sid.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or which source should I refer to?
== Situation ==
I installed squeeze using netinst CD with minimal components,
then upgraded to sid modifying my apt-line from squeeze to unstable.
After that, I installed X.org:
# aptitude install read-edid mdetect xorg twm xterm
Installation succeeded. But X fails to start:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

xinit: unexpected signal 2.

The screen is entirely black, and it shows nothing.
But I could return to console using [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1].
So my available choice was only to push ^C to abort.
Some of my configuration is as follows:
$ cat ~/.xsession
exec twm
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
