I did a quick Google Group search and found a few things in
comp.sys.atar.st and .tech but didn't have time to dig
through them.

It may be due to the colour depth you are using, I am not
sure if there is a minimum requirement.

I had a few config problems when I was setting X11 up but that
was due to the network, X expects 127.0.0.1 IIRC but
that doesn't look to be your problem.

I think I did fiddle with fonts.alias in /etc/X11 but didn't
do much.

Sorry for being a bit vague, it's quite a long time since I
set-up X but since you didn't get much response I thought I
would pass on what I know.
