Contact me You probably meant "XFree86 -version", not "XFree86 -v". Otherwise, the error is exactly as described. There is already a server running on display number 0. Start the server with a different number (see Xserver(1x)), kill the existing X server on display number 0, or if it is already dead, remove the indicated lock file. -- G.
