probably a simple mistake [solved]

I'm having trouble getting xorg to run for more than a couple seconds. Here's what I've done..

1. installed base packages off 32-bit 0.7.2 ftp installation iso
2. added a second user
3. ran "pacman -Sy xorg hwd fluxbox gtk rxvt-unicode feh nvidia"
4. ran "hwd -xa"
5. ran "nvidia-xconfig"
6. switched to user I made in #2
7. changed .xinitrc from "exec wmaker" to "exec fluxbox"

My computer has an nVidia AGP GeForce 6200. Right now, when I try running startx as the second user, it starts for a couple seconds and then crashes leaving the following errors...

setting default value
Failed to read:session.tabPadding

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

Have You installed :
current/xorg-fonts-100dpi 1.0.1-1 ??
Without basic fonts, X wouldn't start in my case.

a truetype font like ttf-bitstream-vera will work too...
