Hi everyone

I had a redhat 5.2. I upgraded it to 6.1 and it was configured to start X
automatically on boot up. (it is a dual boot machine with win98).. things
worked fine.
 I recently installed a Dlink 10/ethernet card and the first time I tried
to access linux, it booted up normally till the point it had to start X
and then it just blanked out. a ctrl-alt-F1 gave me a text login screen
and I logged in as root and typed "startx"  and I got teh following error

_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...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 
------------

I browsed many mailing lists- performed steps like

1. remove /tmp/.X0-lock
2. remove /tmp/.X11-Unix

but everytime I come up with the same error. nothing has worked so far.
any help would be immensely appreciated.
thanks
