  20. Recently have reinstalled X11, for that matter all of linux.  Using
  21. .98 patch level 1 or 2 (don't recall).  However now I am getting the
  22. following error:
  23.  
  24. xinit: Interrrupted system call (errno 4) : client error
  25.  
  26. Before the error comes I get the slate grey screen, which then turns blue.
  27. Mouse works fine...  And about 50% of the time the xclock appears.  The 
  28. error occurs before the xterm or the twm window manager come into play.
  29. Ive taken out the xterm & in the .xinitrc and the error still happeds.
  30. A while ago I was getting this error:
  31.  
  32. waiting for X server to shut down X386 Version 1.2 / X Windows System [linux v1.
  33.                                         
  34.  
  35.                                         1 8514/A alpha]                                                                 
  36.  
  37.                                         (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)                          
  38.                                                                                 
  39.                                                                                                                         XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"^M                      
  40.                                                                                                                                 The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.^M
