I decided to reinstall X and now I get (amongst other things)
Fatal server error:
xfa86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (no such file or directory)

XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

Still at a loss my friends...  Any suggestions?

Subject: Running X on a virtual dedicated server

As many of you know, I like my GUI tools.  And I just purchased a
virtual server from GoDaddy, but when I try to run an X app I get the
generic error of cannot connect to X server.  If I look at ps -A I see
xinted running.  If I try to startx I get
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.5195 (or some
randum number)
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH
 
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and that
"X" is a program or link to the right type of server for your display.
Possible server names include: 
 
    Xorg    X.Org displays
 
xinit: Server error.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
 
Any suggestions on how I can get my GUI up?
