I've attached the "startx" script from my system. It goes in
"/usr/X11R6/bin". A few notes:
1) /usr/X11R6/bin/X should be a symlink (made via ln -s) to the server you
want to use -- in this case XF86_VGA16.
2) You'll find that some files in /etc/X11/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 are
just symlinks to each other, so that it doesn't matter which one you're
reading.
