My slackware 9.1's X will not start. It keeps saying:

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

Please help me!

did you happen to re-compile your kernel??

Under Networking Options, make sure that "UNIX" sockets option is enabled!! this will fix the prob.

I didn't recompile anything. I cannot get into any Window Manager so how do I change the Networking Option?

the networking option he was talking about is an option when you set up your kernel config for compiling a kernel. but if you didnt recompile anything that shouldnt be a problem.

when is this happening can you give us some more info? can you startx while running as root?

Nope. I am only running as root but it doesn't work.

See into /var/log/XFree86.0.log query for lines starting with (EE), that indicates for errors. Most possibly errors are pointer device protocols ...
Or u may use xfree86setup to generate a new XF86Config n put it in /etc/X11 n go through the scratch with startx n check /var/log/XF..

If u don't need to filter out ur own configuration from the old one, u may delete the sheebang wut u might had not looked into for long, if no "fatal error are exploited ur time". Stick with the new created XF86Config is surely better.
