  11. Recently have reinstalled X11, for that matter all of linux.  Using
  12. .98 patch level 1 or 2 (don't recall).  However now I am getting the
  13. following error:
  14.  
  15. xinit: Interrrupted system call (errno 4) : client error
  16.  
  17. Before the error comes I get the slate grey screen, which then turns blue.
  18. Mouse works fine...  And about 50% of the time the xclock appears.  The 
  19. error occurs before the xterm or the twm window manager come into play.
  20. Ive taken out the xterm & in the .xinitrc and the error still happeds.
  21. A while ago I was getting this error:
  22.  
  23. waiting for X server to shut down X386 Version 1.2 / X Windows System [linux v1.
