--- Comment #2 from Jason <jason at userful.com>  2008-05-09 10:00:52 PST ---
Your X crashed because it couldn't find font properly.  Specify the font
path explicitly in the "Files" section or use "-fp" option when you
start X server, then it will work.

Find the font path and add it to the "Files" section of xorg.conf.  The
path of font could be /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
or  /usr/share/X11/fonts/.

Example:

Section "Files"
        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
        FontPath     "unix/:7100"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/"       
        FontPath     "/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF/"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/X11/fonts/OTF/"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
EndSection

or 

X -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
