Try to comment out the Type1-fonts in your XF86config.
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
#    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
