This is probably not what's stopping your X server from starting.
Look in /var/log/X[whatever] for clues.
Try a different window manager/environment.
Are you starting from "startx" or some sort of login manager? Try the/an
other method.
Are you running Stable, Testing, Unstable?
KDE? Gnome? Fluxbox? other?
Without more detail, I'd guess KDE, from KDM, and you get logged in, the
X server starts, and then dies, which is probably being caused by wrong
perms on /tmp/.ICE-unix. But that's just a guess based on my most common
issue on Sid.
