While installing FreeBSD 2.1.6, when I get to the point of configuring 
X-Windows after the "Changing Display Modes..." I get:

 "_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect:can't connect error=02"

This is displayed about a half dozen times, then I'm returned to the
menu.
If I try to access the configuration again after all files are copied, I
get the same error except an "error=61" at the end.
BSD itself seems to be working OK, but not X.  If I try to start X, I
get the list of server video options.  I'm not real versed in UNIX, but
I've had Linux running on this machine, so I don't think its a hardware
problem.  Any ideas?

TIA
