Messing around some more.
Tried xinit. That worked X came up with the bare terminal window.
Then xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc . That did not work. Same result. X
cursor against black.
xinitrc comes from xorg-x11-xinit, so I downgraded to 1.0.2-11. Still
did not work.
I'm pretty sure I rebooted and restarted X about 4-5 days ago. So this
is a very recent issue.
