I checked the symbolic link for X and it appeared correct, except for the group access: lrwxrwxr-x 1 root 12000 24 May 28 20:58 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64* I recreated it as wheel. Still no luck. FYI I get the following errors: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2 _X11SERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _X11SERVTransSocketINetCreateListener:...SocketCreateListener() failed _X11SERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for tcp fatal server error: failed to establish all listening sockets giving up. xinit: no such file or directory (errno2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno3): Server error These errors occur if I login as root and immediately use startx. If I go through /stand/sysinstall, answer OK and SAVE at the various prompts for the XF86 Configure options, then quit out, I can run startx with no problems.
