Using Xfree86 4 on a RedHat 7.1 box.

Today, Mozilla hung while accessing a site, so I killed the mozilla 
process. When the process dies, it took the whole X server with it, 
leaving me with a black screen and a prompt.

Typing "startx" brings up the error:

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
..
..
..

where the '..' repeats every few seconds

Among other things attempted, I got rid of the /tmp/.x11-unix 
directory, assuming that xinit would recreate it. After a restart 
(just to clean this out), startx still responds the same way.

A strace shows that xinit is trying to open /tmp/.x11-unix/X0 without 
ever creating it.

How do I fix this problem?

Thanks,
- Tony
