>From the XFree86 FAQ (http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/): # Q.E13- I get an error "_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: # errno = 111". What does it mean? # # Whenever the XFree86 Xserver crashes, dies, ceases to exist or is # inaccessible for any reason, you will see this error message. It is a # message from an X-client (=any program running on your XFree86 # Xserver, for example the window manager) telling you that it tried to # connect to your Xserver, but failed to do something for "some" reason. # # Quoting only this message in a bug report is therefore utterly # useless. Look in the server output for the real reason why the server # died. Normally you should see the real error message (=why the server # stopped working) a few lines before the "error 111" message. # # If you still can't make head or tails of all those messages, make sure # to quote the FULL server output in your bug report. It is impossible # to provide you with any help, if you just mention the "error 111", as # so many people do. # # Obtaining the full server output is normally accomplished by # redirecting both standard output and standard error to a file while # starting the server (eg, startx <& logfile.txt). On some systems this # is done by default. Can you find any more information to give on what's happening to your server? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
