thanks for the clear and detailed instruction. Having done it, the
x-window font problem still exists:

Here is mine, (for etch, from /etc/X11/xorg.conf):

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
-----------------------
As I said, it was working fine, until I removed all xfonts-*-transcoded
fonts. Now it is "could not open default font 'fixed'".
I did some googling, the
"http://forums.linuxiso.org/viewtopic.php?t=28644"; tells how to handle the
problem, but mine is not covered.
I did find the same symptom as mine:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2004-03/1589.html
but that one has no answer.
please help. My X is not starting.
thanks a lot
