Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 3642
X server will not start using Trident 3DImage975 video card (XFree86-3.3.2.3-52)
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:50 EDT
It appears that an application is attempting to access the X server before it is started, or that the permissions set by the XFree86-3.3.3.1-52 rpm may be incorrect. Reinstalling XFree86-3.3.2.3-25 is a workaround for this. There are no error messages prior to the message below (this is a complete dump) _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 waiting for X server to begin accepting connections XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 4 1999 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Are you attempting to start X via xdm/gdm? Or by "startx" from the command line?
So you are saying that X doesn't start at all, or just that it starts but is giving you this error message? The error message is a side-effect from a race-condition work-around fix, and can be safely ignored. But if X isn't starting at all, that is indicative of some other problem that we need to fix.
closed due to lack of feedback. Works fine here.
I have problem the same problem. I use XFree86-3.3.5-3 but I can not use X server. I try redhat 6.0 and 6.1 but I have the same problem. After installing redhat I use Xconfigurator and when it creates XF86Config file for me I edit it to delete the Modeline that are not compatible with my monitor then I entre startx command. The screen appears but after few seconds when it try to load some thing related to gnome my screen becomes white or black, my computer becomes blocked and force to reboot my computer.
