Another update - sorry to bother people with this, but maybe my experience
will help someone out in the future.
I fixed the font issue by changing the FontPath entry in XF86Config to read:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
I then found I needed to add libncurses.
Now startx gets further, draws the desktop and then dies with "xterm: no
available ptys".
