I had Xwindows up and running with FreeBSD 2.0 through
2.1.  I used the upgrade proceedure on the CDrom, using
a DOS partition as a buffer for the files. (My CDrom
still isn't working with FreeBSD).  

After the installation I could not get Xwindows to
come up.  It usually complains that it can't find a
socket (SocketUNIXConnect).  I have been plowing through
the book and man pages and haven't found anything that
corrects the problem.  I suspect it is setup on my end.

Now for the strangeness.  After I initiate a slip
connection through a serial card to a modem Xwindows
stops complaining and comes up.

I would appreciate any help, pointers or direction you
might be able to offer.


Respectfully,

RJ Howard.
