Hi Eitan,
The Xorg.0.log file shows it can't find some expected fonts.  The file
is at
http://wonkity.com/~wblock/tmp/Xorg.0.log
The actual problem I am having is that startx produces only a completely
black screen.  Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro  produces the expected
grid and mouse pointer.  A .xinitrc file is supposed to start a window
manager.

Best regards,
Fred
