I can see the source of my confusion, I believe.

Long ago, I used unstable, which was potato.

We need to know what these results were! :) xserver-
Thanks to everyone!
Yep, packages that should have been present were missing. In particular,
xbase-clients (which contains startx, which was indeed missing) and
xfonts-base as folks suggested. Are these kinds of problems common in
upgrading to Woody? Donald mentioned that he'd seen xfonts-base m

One pitfall of transfering from XFree3.* to XFree4.* is that the config file is
now: "\etc\X11\XF86Config-4" instead of "\etc\X11\XF86Config".
You might want to make sure that you configuration is save as the right file.
Good luck.

It sounds to me like your system is missing some very important
packages. There's no way you should be missing startx! That's a
fundamental script and it's in xbase-clients, which pretty much every X

I also blew away my X setup when I upgraded from potato to woody so I know
how it feels. Here's some information I determined in the course of
fixing things:
Under potato you were using XFree86 release 3.3.+. Woody prefers to use
XFree86 release 4.0+. You can still use XFree release 3.3 in wood

Some more info ... I realized that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-mach64 would let
me choose the mach64 server. This didn't help. I also tried the vga16
server. That didn't help, either.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

You should just need to put 'gnome-session' in your ~/.xession (or ~/.xinitrc)
and it
should launch gnome+sawfish for you (if they are properly installed)

Hi James,
I always use XF86Setup (package xf86setup). It sounds to me like your
configuration is wrong.

Have you installed the xserver-xfree86 package which contains the xserver
4.0.2?
If not, do it, and the install script will (should) ask you about the
configuration.
If you have the package already installed you can reconfigure the server
by issuing
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

I have a feeling that it's your RAM. Have you tried the memtest
program? I myself have been running the latest slink xfree86 with no
problems whatsoever. If I were you I would try out memtest on
different combinations of your SIMMs.
