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

  28.                                         1 8514/A alpha]                                                                 
  29.  
  30.                                         (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)                          
  31.                                                                                 
  32.                                                                                                                         XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"^M                      
  33.                                                                                                                                 The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.^M
