For me on my IBM T43, updating to Xorg-6.9 broke X as well. After some time spent hunting around for answers, I
found a thread that suggested that Xorg-6.9 broke DRI (certainly for the graphics card on the T43).

Disabling DRI in xorg.conf then enabled me to use startx successfully thereafter., Might be worth a shot for you
too.

Stacey
