another X window problem


I have the error
**************************************************************************************************** **
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:

Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
****************************************************************************************************
the FAQ on the net have instructions to solve the problem
(QUOTE)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This problem is very similar to the previous one. You will get this message possibly because the lock file was removed somehow or some other program which doesn't create a lock file is already listening on this port. You can check this by doing a netstat -ln. Xservers usually listen at tcp port 6000+<Display Number>, therefore if you have started your Xserver with the command line option :1 it will be listening on port 6001.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the instruction is very unclear to me, and still don't know what to do, tried startx -- :1, doesn;t work
anyone else knows the problem?

***and in my /etc/innittab there were lots of writing, i didn't know what to put or else it would be too long
