I was able to solve this problem by reinstalling xfonts-base. The problem
is discussed in /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz at the bottom. My
problem was that the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias file did not
exist on the first install for some reason. The re-install fixed it.

I did an upgrade to XFree86 4.0.1-4 (..-3 was fine) and now I' can't get X
to start at all.
I've got the same "Fatal server error: could not open default font
'fixed'" that others have got.
I've forced atp to do a reinstall of all the xfonts, freefont and the
gsfonts; i've also forced xserver-xfr
