startx doesn't seem to work anymore either. I have
been trying to induce xdm to start X up but same error
comes back. I nixed the FontPath lines from my
XF86Config file but i ge the same error again. Could
there be two files floating around? I was editing the
one in /etc/X11/ which I guess is symlinked from
/usr/X11R6....
