Another X crash on startup


A colleague installed the full Cygwin installation onto a laptop on
Monday.  He can't start X because of what looks like the 
"Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" mentioned at
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof

However, we've checked that the fonts are installed; mount shows that
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is used, and the directory contains about 400
files in the misc subdirectory.  

X won't start.  Any other suggestions?  This is on a new Dell laptop,
running at about 1600x1200, and XP.


$ startx

XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
       after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
