  13. Subject: HELP: xinit: interrupted server call (errno 4):client error
  14.  
  15. Recently have reinstalled X11, for that matter all of linux.  Using
  16. .98 patch level 1 or 2 (don't recall).  However now I am getting the
  17. following error:
  18.  
  19. xinit: Interrrupted system call (errno 4) : client error
  20.  
  21. Before the error comes I get the slate grey screen, which then turns blue.
  22. Mouse works fine...  And about 50% of the time the xclock appears.  The 
  23. error occurs before the xterm or the twm window manager come into play.
  24. Ive taken out the xterm & in the .xinitrc and the error still happeds.
  25. A while ago I was getting this error:
  26.  
  27. waiting for X server to shut down X386 Version 1.2 / X Windows System [linux v1.

  30.                                         1 8514/A alpha]                                                                 
  31.  
  32.                                         (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)                          
  33.                                                                                 
  34.                                                                                                                         XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"^M                      
  35.                                                                                                                                 The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.^M
