I got my dial-out PPP set up, and my Xwindows died. startx and xinit both give me a generic "Can't create socket" error -- i know that's the generic error message, but the XFree86.org FAQ wasn't any more helpful than that. I'm new to Xwin so I don't even know where to start. A friend suggested I change /etc/resolv.conf, but that didn't do anything. Other errors that might help diagnose -- syslogd won't start -- can't assign address or pid. configuring/ updating Xwindows configuration from /stand/sysinstall won't do anything -- the script there won't even start. thanks -- brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
