Mine looks just like that, except without the X0 and X64. > is that the problem? Suppose not. I'm not at all an X guru, but these are sockets and should only appear when X is running. The only other thing I stumbled across are some lockfiles (for these sockets?), make sure there are no stale ones around. But that's just a shot in the dark. nick@balrog:~$ ll /tmp/.X*-lock -r--r--r-- 1 root root 11 Mar 24 03:19 /tmp/.X0-lock -r--r--r-- 1 root root 11 Feb 15 12:14 /tmp/.X64-lock If all else fails, track the error message down in the source and check what it's really complaining about.
