If'n you killed X with Crtl-Alt-Bkspc, I'd think everything would be
okay.  You might stop any display manager (xdm, gdm, wdm, ...), stop all
font servers (xfs, xfstt, xfs-xtt) then restart the the font servers.
Then go in to /tmp and remove .X11-unix and .ICE-unix .  Then try
restarting with "startx".  You shouldn't need to reinstall X, but maybe
you could tell us why you had to kill it.
