[ltp] cannot start x - ThinkPad T42

[Josh Battles]

I've got a T42 (2373JTU) and I'm having problems getting xorg to run.  I was
running debian testing on for about a year and decided to do a fresh install
of debian unstable the other night.

When I type in the startx command the screen flashes and I get the following
messages:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

and

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

I've checked the logfile (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) and can't see any warnings,
errors, or messages that would indicate what sort of problem this is.  I even
attempted to use the previous xorg.conf I'd been running under the testing
install to no avail.

What am I missing here?  A point in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated.  A quick google tells me that there's some other setting I've
got wrong that's preventing X from starting but I can't think of what it
could be.

Also, what drivers are you guys using now?  Is there a tutorial/faq/wiki for
using them?

Thanks
