I installed XFree86 and the kernel patch.  When I tried to bring up X, using
xinit, I got the following message:

   XIO: fatal IO error 32 (broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
   after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining
   The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient

What did I miss to do?  Thanks in advance.
