The file sizes for the A7000 ones are, I think, fractionally different.

Try redirecting the output from startx, so that you can see what the error
message is (it could be something really silly...) - this is what I did: 

	startx >& mylog

whilst I still got gibberish on the screen, I was able to reboot and
examine the file.
