Okay.
startx consists of the lines
xinit
touch /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

.xinitrc:
export DISPLY=localhost:0.0   (this came from Steven)
rxvt &
exec icewm &
rxvt &

(I added the last so as to start with an rxvt)

By great good fortune I have a floppy disk that the laptop will read so 
here are the longer files:

stoutlog is 0 length

stderrlog is what I was reading you messages from about SpeedUps.

I see this after a fleeting glimpse of X.

Here is XF86Config - I deleted anything remarked out to save space.
