How do I pass the server ot startx? Should I disable XF86_FBDev by
trashing it or uninstalling it? Or chnge my init script to 5 instead of
3? I'm using the most recent stable kernel from Paul's tree (with some
USB hangs), 2.2.15p19. This kernel has Ben's patches from pre14 in it.

XF86_FBDev by trashing it? Or change my init script to 5 instead of 3?
I'm using the most recent stable kernel from Paul's tree (with some USB
hangs), 2.2.15p19. This kernel has Ben's patches from pre14 in it too.
