>When I try to start X, it produces this output:

I got the same problem when I first upgraded from RH4.2 to RH5.1. The 
problem? Try using '/sbin/ifconfig' and see if your 'lo' is being set 
up. Somehow the localhost disappeared after upgrading.

I am not an expert, but I wonder if that is the problem that causes the 
message 'Unable to connect to server'. 

To correct the problem, change your 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo to:

DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

The restart network, or do it the MS way -reboot.

Hope it works this time.
