[ale] X died....

[Unix Guru Dude]

}xdm crapped out on me, and now X won't start.  I get this: 
}
}
}TRANS(SocketCreateListener): failed to bind listener
}TRANS(SocketUNIXCreateListener): TRANS(SocketCreateListener) () failed
}TRANS(MakeAllCOTSServerListeners) failed to create listener for local
}
}XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X Window System
}(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6000)
}Operating System: Linux 
}Configured drivers:
}  S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
}      mmio_928, s3_generic
}
}Fatal server error:
}xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root

I don't know if this will help, but the above message can easily be
checked out.  Check for the permissions on your server.  It should be
under /usr/X11R6/bin and linked to /var/X11R6/bin/X.  The suid bit should
be set.  I don't know if this will help, but you might check it out.

}
}TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 22
}
}waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 
}giving up.
}xinit:  Invalid argument (errno 22):  unable to connect to X server
}xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.
}
}
}Any ideas?
