If you have the line
     
     /unix:7100
     
     or something like that in you XF86Config file comment it out as
     the XFS font server is no longer used.
     
     Hope this does something if not post your XF86Config file and the
     output of
     
     startx >& test.log

Many thanks - it does not seem to be that.  This is my XF86Config -
it was generated by xf86cfg but with the mouse entry edited.
