xserver fails to start

Hello.

X does not start on sid.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or which source should I refer to?

== Situation ==
I installed squeeze using netinst CD with minimal components,
then upgraded to sid modifying my apt-line from squeeze to unstable.

After that, I installed X.org:
# aptitude install read-edid mdetect xorg twm xterm

Installation succeeded. But X fails to start:

$ startx
This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.

The screen is entirely black, and it shows nothing.
But I could return to console using [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1].
So my available choice was only to push ^C to abort.


Some of my configuration is as follows:

Go to one of the other consoles and check the status of twm (e.g. with
"ps -ef | grep twm"). Also, are there any clues in ~/.xsession-errors?

What happens if you just put "xterm" into that file (also try ~/.xinitrc
instead)?

[ snip: I did not notice anything unusual in your xorg.conf, your xorg
  log and your list of installed packages. ]
