startx after kernel compile, tcp/ip prob?


ive been mucking round with the latest 2.6.8.1 kernel, all was working well however after mucking round with make menuconfig, i get the following message now


I try startx and i get this message..

_XSERVTransSocketOpen: socket() failed for local
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for local
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for local/blue:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for local

i think it may b a tcp/ip setting in the kernel, but i dont know what one.

anyone know?
