OK, I must be an idiot or something. I cannot get X to work without frying my PC. I am running OpenBSD 3.2 -stable on a Dell Optiplex GX1 with an ATI Rage Pro video card and a KDS VS 21e monitor. I ran XFree86 -configure and got this trident chips atm fbdev i128 ati i810 ark cyrix siliconmotion vesa vga (++) using config file at /root/XF86Config.new to test the server run XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new So I tested the server and then I get the following error: _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal Server Error Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running Here is my /var/log/XFree86.0.log: (--) checkDevMem: using aperture driver /dev/xf86 (--) Using wscons driver in pcvt compatibility mode (version 3.32) (WW) xf86AcquireGART: AGPIOC_ACQUIRE failed (Device busy) (WW) GARTInit: AGPIOC_INFO failed (Device not configured) _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org. I did not reconfigure anything in rc.conf. Any pointers or help would be appreciated.
