I'm running everything as root. So permissions shouldn't be a problem at 
this point, right?

Well, I expected XF86Setup to do that for me. I just ran 'make World' 
and 'make install'. Now I wanted to run XF86Setup for it to configure my 
X server before starting it???
I also tried xf86config which runs through flawlessly but when trying to 
'startx' gives me a blank screen and it then hangs...
Sorry for my unqualified information but I'm quite new to XFree86.  If 
there's any further information I can provide I'd be happy to do so. I'm 
quite desparate of getting this XFree86 3.3.6 up running....

BTW. I don't really know about the meaning of this but there's *_no_* 
entry like the following when running 'netstat -an':
unix   2   [ACC]   STREAM    LISTENING    427    /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
Should there be one like this (I've read so somewhere else...)?

Thanks a lot.
