Permissions on Xwrapper or a related executable appear to have been trashed. I could run X11 as root so I reinstalled "xf86_3x XFree86 3.X environment" and everyone is happy again. ReiserFS is not a cure-all for power outages (or testing your UPS setup to destruction). Jeffrey Quoting IEEE alias :

Yeah, its /tmp/.X11-unix/X0. Now I have a new problem. See below.

Thank you, Jeffrey

XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 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. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Operating System: Linux 2.2.14 i686 [ELF] SuSE Configured drivers: Mach64: accelerated server for ATI Mach64 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)

Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm. We strongly advise against making the server SUID root!

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Quoting Scott, David :

...

init 6 your machine (or use reboot if you prefer), if that doesn't help clean out /tmp (rm -rf /tmp). I thinkg that X creates a lock file and wont start if that lock file exists (but I'm not 100% on this).

I had power failure and after the power came back up. I get the following error when trying to start X11. Any ideas on what's wrong?

TIA, Jeffrey

_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
