I am running Xinside 2.1.  I installed FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE over the weekend.  I had it running just the way I wanted it, but today, I try to startx, and I get this:

FreeBSD using /dev/ttyv3

and then a long pause, followed by:

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

Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno 61)

Now i fiddled around with the other two terminals and didn't get any luck.  Then, I decided to dial up from the console using ppp.  When I've dialed in and established my link, I try 'startx' again and it works!  X starts up!

What short of ghosts and demons is going on here?
