    Hi there again, it's time for another newbie problem!

    Okay, here's the rundown: I've done a dist-upgrade to unstable, and this
    worked well (apparently).
    I then decided to install X by installing the x-window-system package. I
    configured xserver-xfree86, using default settings mostly, and tried to
    run startx.

    Result? Lots of errors. I have no idea what's going on (as usual).
    Here's the error log:

    Does this tell me anything useful? I'll post the XF86Config-4 file if
    needed.

    Thanks in advance,
