Unfortunately, errno 111 is just an error from an X client (see the
XFree86-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/";><A HREF="http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/</A">http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/</A</A>> for details), it is not the
error that caused the X server to crash. If you start X with the command
"startx", you will find a log file in your home directory, called
~/.X.err, which you can examine with "less", for example. It contains all
the startup-messages from the X-Server, maybe you can find a hint in
there, what's going wrong in your case. Also make sure, that you have
installed the correct X-Server ("rpm -q xsvga" should give you a version
number), and that the link /var/X11R6/bin/X is pointing to
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA. You can check this with the "file"-Command. For
technical notes about running XFree on Cirrus-based cards, see the release
notes at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.cirrus. The contain some useful
hints.
