Help - X does not start. Error messages cryptic

\_ Upon each following reboot and attempt to boot X:
\_
\_ #startx
\_ execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2)
\_ _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
\_ giving up
\_ xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connecct to X server
\_ xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
\_
\_ What does this mean, and what can I do to fix it?

I'd guess that there is already an xserver running there or that X
failed to fire cleanly. I *believe* the process runs something like:

% startx
--- fires up X server
--- runs through a startup script *or* throws an Xterm
