Bug#408627: I keep getting the error message: could not open default font 'fixed'

["francescoborghesan@inwind.it" <francescoborghesan@inwind.it>]

Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-10
Severity: grave

I upgraded my Debian etch. Rebooting kdm didn't start and appeared the console. When i gave the "startx" command i had the following error message.

could not open default font 'fixed'

I solved the problem as described in http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages#head-a570197d15005a2c71cbb5e565114e2c04a573a3

but I losed a lot of time... and i think it's a critical bug since i couldn't use the PC for days...
The initial xorg package version i think was 7.0
thank you
