[LI] Errors on shutting down x

[Suresh Ramasubramanian <r.suresh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks -

I'm running a SiS6215c 1 mb VRAM card on RH 6.1 (samtron 428PT monitor).
I used the XF86_SVGA server provided in the PCQ distro - and X always
committed suicide instead of dying peacefully.  

Periodically, X reverts back to its old state (the no_accel and no_bitblt
flags I set are somehow reset, and X crashes).  XScreensaver permissions,
"can't remove temp files" and "Esound daemon already running" are common
factors.

Here's a dump of my x shutdown error log - can somebody help please?  I
still have a few tasks I ~have~ to perform on a GUI, so ... (at least mutt
is there for my mails so I can dispense with netscape <g>)

Speaking of this - I'd advise you to switch to Linux (and pine / mutt) for
a while at least, especially if you are still using windows.  Even on
Netscape, spammers and virus authors have got the rather brilliant idea of
sending html mail with <img src="http://spammer.com/cgi-bin/evil.cgi";> -
in effect, he can run whatever he wants on your box.

Back to my request - here's the shutdown error log -

SESSION_MANAGER=local/suresh.kcircle.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1058,tcp/suresh.kcircle.com:1104
esd: Esound sound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket
/tmp/.esd/socket
This socket already exists indicating esd is already running.
Exiting...
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xscreensaver: Can't open display: :0
xscreensaver: initial effective uid/gid was root/root (0/0)
xscreensaver: running as nobody/nobody (99/99)

xscreensaver: Errors at startup are usually authorization problems.
              Did you read the manual?  Specifically, the parts
              that talk about XAUTH, XDM, and root logins?

^^^^^^ I ~have~ seen this site, and couldn't find much there.

rm: cannot remove `/root/.gnome//gmc-8RT2ng': No such file or directory
subshell.c: couldn't get terminal settings: Inappropriate ioctl for device
kill 1103: No such process
