When attempting to run xinit I get many strange errors.  It says things
like:

XF98_GANBWAP/o (character like an equal sign, but with 3 -'s)  (diamond
shape): not found

This continues with strange symbols and not found messages.  Then the
message: "/usr/X11R6/bin: 50: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution"

The message "_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2"
repeats 6 times followed "giving up."

xinit: Interupted system call (errno4): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.


Love y'all,

Elisabeth
