[ale] X died....

[Michael David Ivey]

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

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?
