In my RHL 7.3 with default init 3 the X-server is not just starting. While
running 'gdm' and 'kdm' it gives back the prompt. While running 'startx'
the log file shows this following error.

I have also tried to 'ps' and killed any X server running and tried startx
again. But the same damn error msg shown.

_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.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86 at xfree86.org.

A few months back I had this problem or something similar to it. While I
deleted everything of a file & everything started normally..but I forgot
the name of the file.

But I think it is one of these files......Xclients or xinitrc...
/etc/X11/xinit
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit
/usr/X11R6/man/man1/xinit.1x.gz

Can anyone help me get back to my X11 again?
