I was persuaded over the weekend to try and get X.org set up and
running on my laptop, I was previously just using the Apple X11
setup. After I remembered to remove /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 , it
all compiled and installed correctly but I can't get it to run.
From the note on sourceforge it should be just a matter of running
startx or XDarwin, but startx does not exist after the installation
and XDarwin just fails with a font problem. I think I need help and
acknowledge stupidity in advance.

I've attached the Console text for the failure if that helps.

No /usr/X11R6/bin/startx at all? Verify that it wasn't just a PATH
problem by
ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/start*
And check your .deb file via
dpkg -c /sw/fink/debs/xorg_6.8.2-35_darwin-powerpc.deb
If you have 6.8.2-25 instead, that's the Panther version and
something needs to be fixed in your underlying Fink setup.
