Thanks for the info! I finally got it working :)

I had to change the server from which I was fetching stuff to see the
latest version. Also I had a shortcut to an outdated startxwin.bat. It
looks like the new location of startxwin.bat is /usr/bin/startxwin.bat
whereas it was previously /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat.


Hmm... you mean like it says here [1] in the FAQ, which you have read? :)

Thanks for the reply. I did upgrade to the latest xorg-server. (It is
now at 1.5.3-2). In fact, as I mentioned previously, I tried
reinstalling all packages under the X11 category. However, this
doesn't seem to fix things.

I have a suspicion that my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory is somehow
corrupted. An ls there shows fewer directories that on another
machine where this seems to work. On my (problem) machine:

$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
app-defaults  lbxproxy   rstart  xdmxkb  xsm
fsproxymngr  twm xinit  xserver

Strangely, no fonts/ directory! On another machine which I use where X
seems to be working fine, I see a whole bunch of other directories...

Regards,
Srinath

The current version doesn't have/use /usr/X11R6  It uses just plain
/usr for X stuff now, along with a modular X installation.  See the
anouncements.

The latest xorg-server is 1.5.3-4.  Either it, or last Thursday's
1.5.3-3, will certainly fix the could not open default font 'fixed' error.
