[Peeweelinux] XFree86 setup help

I've made some progress.  Here's what I've done so far:

1) Created the /etc/X11/XF86Config file
2) Link XF86_SVGA -> X
3) Added libm and libdl libraries

It now makes some progess starting with startx but dies with:
FontTransSocketUNIXConnect : can't connect : errno = 111
Failed to set default font path 'unix:7100'
could not open default font 'fixed'

I assume this means that I'm either missing a required font or I need to
change the FontPath in the XF86Config to "unix:-1"?
