That's what I thought. In Potato, I got this every time, but in
reading /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common under the [How do I get the
Xserver to find the "fixed" font?] section it states:
"If the X server refuses to start, complaining that it cannot find the
'fixed' font, then one (or more) of the following is likely true:" (then
it goes on about causes)
This is contradictory of what I'm hearing on this thread. What else,
logs, output, or otherwise, can I give you? Please tell me where to get
it. I'm not terribly familiar with Debian's filesystem hierarchy.

Tried startx again. Still, I get the same thing. Where else can I
look? Where is this information coming from that would originate such
an error?
I have a feeling that the fonts are the cause of the failure. They
should be non-fatal. Can you check the rest of the output (perhaps mouse
errors)?
