Thanks to Chris, Nick, Matthew, Steve, David and Glyn,
OK a bit more progress. Further adjusting
xf86config has got background,
cursor and bash$ prompt up the whole time.

Thanks to Chris, Ross, Steve and Nick.
I still haven't managed to locate an X log after several attempts.
After running xf86config again and adjusting the horizontal and vertical
frequencies, if I move the mouse about whilst doing startx, the
background and cursor will stay on screen. There is a

You should really use -print0 for find and and -0 for xargs if they're

Well good and bad news. With the downloaded SecurityPolicy file in place
startx starts up and the background stays on screen for about 2 seconds now
