Please do the following (assuming you use C shell):

xinit 2> ~/errlog to capature all errors emitted by xinit.  
ls -l /usr/bin/X11/X /usr/bin/X11/X386 >> ~/errlog
ls -ld /usr/lib/X11/fonts >> ~/errlog
ls -ld /dev/X >> ~/errlog
displaypkg >> ~/errlog

Do a ls -l in /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/lib/X11/fonts/[misc,75dpi,100dip] and
take a look of these file permissions, are they owned by root? grouped by
other?

By the way, you don't need to have the Remote File Sharing Package installed
to use X386 1.1.  But you will always get three *error* messages (no harm 
however).

Finally, please DON'T use Thomas' install.sh for ESIX without checking/
editing it first. There are some small difference between ISC for which 
the script was written and ESIX. A very quick simple heck can fix it.

Please post and I will respond.  (I went thru all your problems already!)
