X.Org problem
When I start my system(I start in text mode). I type in startx and nothing happens. Ctrl+Alt+F1 back to console and startx again...ok KDE up and running. I checked out Xorg.0.log and this is what I found:
Code:
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/, removing from list!
Any ideas how to solve this? Maybe permission problems or something?

By default there are no fonts inside those directories unless you installed the corresponding packages and/or fonts in the directories. If you want to take out the warning messsage, comment the lines that define those paths in your xorg.conf file.

You are looking at the wrong log. The log Xorg.0.log is for the current X session. There should be another log Xorg.1.log or something like that which will be for the previous X session. Otherwise you should look through the log when you first try to startx.
startx
<Ctrl><Alt><F2> # Switch to another terminal.
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Post the entire Xorg.0.log file as, the part output you have included doesn't help solve your problem.

Use "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

AS as been said, you need to install the x11-font packages:
x11-fonts-100dpi
x11-fonts-cyrillic
x11-fonts-misc
x11-fonts-scale
Then run 'mkfontdir' on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ etc (read log warning)
That will fix the font warnings, but you haven't posted the relevant part about any other errors stopping X from staring. Try 'cat Xorg.0.log | grep EE' and post the output.

That will work if you're in /var/log, I like my way better.

Is this a new installation, or did you upgrade your kernel or X server?
Before starting X look in /var/log and note date/time of the Xorg log files. After you try to start X look again and note the date/time of the new file. Then do this:
tail -n80 /var/log/xorg.X.log >xorg.log
Replace the X with the number of the new log file created when X failed to start. Then post the contents of xorg.log. You can adjust the -n80 to a bigger number if you need to get more info from the log file.
