In my reply to Sam's message, I mentioned a problem with sharefont and freefont. Because I had freefont installed, I was unable to start the X server even after doing what you recommend above. The only solution with freefont or sharefont installed seems to involve writing an explicit list of font paths into /etc/X11/XF86Config. -- Thomas E.
