After installing Debian 2.0 onto a clean system, X11 will not run. XF86Setup seems to go fine, my mouse appears to be configured properly, and all the software seems to be correctly installed. Of course, if something is missing, it wouldn't be obvious to me, either. Executing startx results in the getting-very-familiar error:
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 However, the error number changes to 111 when my $DISPLAY variable is changed from unix:0 to :0. Localhost:0 was also tried. This is a standalone system, though it does call the ISP using ppp. My localhost shows up in netstat -r output, and looks like my ISP's, which is also 2.0. The default manager is fvwm2, pretty much at random, though twm was substituted once with no change. Anybody can run X11, and most of my efforts have been run from my non-root userid. .xinitrc and .xsession are pretty much by the documentation, but they're not available to copy here. Presumably the problem is something simple, but since X11 is not something I've worked with much, it's not obvious to me. Suggestions, please?
