Hi Bert,
Take a look at your /var/log/XFree86.0.log for any error messages.
su root
tail -50 /var/log/XFree86.0.log | less
ought to do it.
I ran into a situation just last Friday with the Bitstream-Vera typeface
getting hosed after apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, so I just
uninstalled the new bitstream-vera RPM and put the original one back on,
and all was fine. The symptom was that X11 kept trying to start and
then dying, five times, and then quit, saying "sorry, too many failed
times", and I got a CLI login prompt. This was on K12LTSP 3.1.2.
