Hello,

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated:

Running FreeBSD 2.0.5, I've installed pretty much everything, including
X.  I actually had X working for a few minutes.  Once I had that, I went 
brought up PPP.  Ever since X won't run!

I run startx, just like I did before, and here is what I get (this is
a whole dump, in case any item sheds light.):

TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 2
TRANS(SocketCreateListener): failed to bind listener
TRANS(SocketINETCreateListener): TRANS(SocketCreateListener) () failed
TRANS(MakeAllCOTSServerListeners) failed to create listener for tcp

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets

TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 61
giving up.
xinit: COnnection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error


... and then I'm back to a regular prompt.

Clearly, something I did while bringing up PPP cause X to behave differently,
I'm just clueless as to what I did.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks much,
Paul
