If'n you killed X with Crtl-Alt-Bkspc, I'd think everything would be okay. You might stop any display manager (xdm, gdm, wdm, ...), stop all font servers (xfs, xfstt, xfs-xtt) then restart the the font servers. Then go in to /tmp and remove .X11-unix and .ICE-unix . Then try restarting with "startx". You shouldn't need to reinstall X, but maybe you could tell us why you had to kill it. -- MegaHAL quote: I think a blowpipe is a marijuana cigarrette.
