Gilligan,
When in /tmp search for HIDDEN FILES (ls -la /tmp), and these are ESSENTIAL:
folder .X11-unix/ containing X0 socket, and folder .FONT-unix/ containing FS-1
socket. You must have these to have your X server run when you boot. This may or
may not be your problem..
Hope it helps,
Crai
Thanks, that was it! My root partiton was at 100%. I deleted 66MB of
stuff, most in /root/Desktop/Trash, some in /tmp. One would think a
more usefull error message could pe printed!

I'm using Mandrake 7.0, installed in April, 2000
I have NOT recently cleaned out /tmp. There is nothing in there that seems
related to X. What is supposed to be in there?
First, I tried to start xfs, (in /usr/X11R6/bin) it started and appeared in
ps. I did startx again, and the same failure a
Yes, most likely X font not running but why??? I got in on this thread
late but what version of LMK are you running? Versions down from 7.1 keep
_essential_ X server files in the tmp directory ( yes, /tmp). Have you, by
any chance, cleaned /tmp out lately?

A simplified way to get your system up and running is to type linux 3 at the
Lilo prompt, it sounds like your system is set to boot into run-level 5 and
launch X-windows/kdm. If you boot to linux 3 you should be able to log in to
the system in text mode and do some debugging on your X-server. As
My Mandrake 7.0 (2.2.14-15mdk) would not boot this morning, and neither
would my boot/rescue disk work!
I've had Mandrake for about 6 months, and have been running Slackware
for over five years, so, i'm not a newbie, although, I may not exactly
be an expert either.
