Hi, I'm having some problems with startx: If I log in and type startx, X starts but doesn't start the window manager. If I ctrl-alt-backspace out of that, here's the messages that startx spews:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.X11-unix) failed, errno = 17 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 waiting for X server to begin accepting connections XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 4 1999 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
