startx doesn't start: can't find screens



Now after doing a massive pkg_rolling-replace, which included updating
modular-xorg-server from 1.12.4nb2 to 1.12.4nb5, X won't start, can't find
screens/display.

I checked the online NetBSD Guide, checked /etc/ttys and various changes to
ttyE4 failed to make X startable.

I also see all the fonts are now in /usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11, no more in
/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts.

I modified xorg.conf to comment out those now-defunct font paths, but X still 
looked in those directories:

Section "Files"
 ModulePath   "/usr/pkg/lib/xorg/modules"
 FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/misc"
 FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/TTF"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/OTF"
 FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
 FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
 FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
 FontPath     "/usr/pkg/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/TTF"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/OTF"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
# FontPath     "/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
EndSection

Or does modular-xorg-server not recognize # as making the rest of the line a 
comment to be ignored?

I now have in /etc/ttys

ttyE4   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         wsvt25  off secure
#ttyE4  "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pcvt off secure
#ttyE4  "/usr/pkg/bin/xdm -nodaemon   unknown off secure
#ttyE4   "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure


and the only noncomment line in /usr/pkg/etc/xdm/Xservers is
:0 local /usr/pkg/bin/X :0 vt05

So what am I doing wrong, or is modular-xorg-server 1.12.4nb5 nonserving?
