The warnings about /usr/lib/X11 are innocuous warnings, not errors. But if you get the same warning about /etc/X11/fonts/misc on install, that would be a serious problem, because that directory is contained in the xfonts-base package. But I doubt there's an xfonts-base bug here anyway, because xfonts-base is at version 1:1.0.0-3 in both testing and unstable. > 2) > ls /etc/X11/fonts/misc > xfonts-base.alias > This absence seems to be the source of my problems.

If this directory is actually where it should be after installing, then look somewhere else for the trouble. If you upgraded to sid today, you might look at whether the new xserver-xorg-core package is the cause, and try upgrading to the version in incoming. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
