Mandrake 10.1 X server problems
Hi, i'm a linux newbie with some experience though And i have some problems which i cannot solve my self... it's about mandrake 10.1 dvd. I'm installing it and everything goes just fine even after reboot until the boot is complete (without any errors) I just get the blank mandrake wallapper with sign mandrake linux 10.1 in bottom right corner... It's the same no matter how many times you install it and how u install it... So i tried alt+ctrl+f2 to change screens, than i delete this x lock or something in tmp folder to disable X server and write startx to reload X server and this is what i get:
__________________________________________________ __________
_XServTransSocketInetCCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListeners() failed
_XServTransMakeAllCotsServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure X serv isn't allready running
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up
Xinit:Unable to connect to X serv
Xinit:No such process (errno 3) :server error
__________________________________________________ __________
that's all folks!
So please help me out with this plz,plz,plz.
regards,
BigBadVoodoo.

well your method probably won't do much, as it will just start up the working, but useless, X server again. or it might start up your display manager, which would be good, and then all you'd hafta do is edit a few files in /etc and you'd be on your way.
just go ahead and see what happens with this though,

No, it has to be "X" not "x" but "X"
