unix/:-1 creates a socket in the filesystem in /tmp. Likely things to
look for are a) filesystem is filled past normal user limits (xfs runs
as non-root user) b) permissions on /tmp are wonky. Another
possibility may be that XF86Config is setup wrong. Needs to match
init.d/xfs.
Why? Dunno. Security maybe.
