I'm a newbie and I'm just starting to figure things out for the moment. I downloaded the distribution and I am trying to run it on X11 for OS X, instead of Wmaker or E!, but while trying to run STARTX I get the following message:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
OsVendorFatalError
AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
Is it me being an ignorant newbie, or does it have to do with the X Server problem reported previously on the forum?
Thanks for your help and hard work!

it looks like you already have X11 runnning
try ps -ax | grep X
to verify that, if it is the case, do kill -9 pid where pid is the process id number of X11
