Make sure you have a writable /usr/spool/sockets directory so X and the 
Graphics Resource Manager Daemon can create a socket for communications.
You'll also need a writable /usr/spool/sockets/X11 directory.

drwxrwxrwx   5 bin      bin         1024 Aug 26  1989 /usr/spool/sockets

I sent you a more comprehensive letter detailing this,
