I tried setting up a machine for a friend last night and ran into the same problem. I'm guessing that new X packages will solve these problems, since we've been warned to put X on hold. ;) One thing I noticed is that there don't appear to be many (or any?) of the necessary dependencies between the new X packages. Also, the old X font packages are still on the FTP site. I managed to get things running, but not with x86setup. I had to tweak a lot of stuff by hand and I had to keep going back to find yet another X package... J
