this is a fonts issue.

for some reason the metacharacter 'unix/:-1' fails to
resolve [i never could figure out *why* but i *did* manage
to trace the path of the metacharacter, for what it's
worth...] - in the /etc directory [or X11 directory, for
that matter] there *may* [or may not] be a standard
XF86Config file...what you want to do is simply get the
fontpath section and stick it into the place where the
metacharacter is, remembering to get rid of the
metacharacter as you go...this may fix yoru problem.  [i've
spent about four days battling with this myself...well, more
like two months...]

if you don't have a default XF86Config then you *may* want
to try re-installing x from your installation cd [it may
still fail, but at least you'll get the XF86Config
file...which is really what you're after.]
