Dear Maintainer,

I have completed a new install of Debian 7 and updated it as of
16-Nov-2013 (version 7.2). When I try to start X (i.e., enter the startx
command) the screen goes blank for a long time (i.e., the better part of
a minute) then displays an graphic error screen indicating something has
gone wrong and for me to try again. The display includes a button marked
"Log out". The cursor is working and when I click the button the server
shutsdown with no indication of a problem. The log file shows only a few
warnings that seem to be unimportant.
