It is said in the FAQ that this bug has been fixed in the newer 2.1.x
kernels.
So I tried to compile a kernel 2.0.35 with egcs 1.1b.
As suggested in the FAQ, I replaced the file arch/i386/kernel/ioport.c
with the version of this file released with kernel 2.1.120.
However, the error '_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno =
111' is still triggered when starting X once the new kernel has been
compiled and installed.
As I am not a kernel core hacker, I can't tell whether the code change
in function sys_iopl() addresses this bug or not...
