You're a bit short of data here. Did X *ever* work? Is this a clean
install, or one on which people have done lots of patches? I'm seeing
the results right now of a machine that's had patches and local
modifications randomly installed on it. If possible, you should be
able to rlogin or slogin into it (if you've installed OpenSSH!) and be
able to look at the system.
