Yesterday while surfing for storm information I lost power, and now my
Xorg installation appears to be corrupted. I get erratic behaviour such
as opening a new Konqueror window when clicking on a link, or no response at all, as well as other unexpected results. I found the following error messages in my log:

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for intet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/michael:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

Any ideas about what has gone wrong and how to fix it?
Slackware 10.0, stock 2.4 kernel.
Thanks, Mike.

From what I have read, I believe xorg is looking for Ipv6 and cannot connect to the module. Do you have Ipv6 compiled into the kernel? If not, use "modprobe -l | more" to find it and load it. Then try restarting the xwindow system again.

Thanks, loading the ipv6 module solved my problem, but I don't quite understand why because I wasn't having this problem before.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Loading the module got rid of the error messages, but I am still getting erratic behavior in KDE. Maybe my problem is in QT or KDE. I'm seriously considering re-installing these packages, as well as X. Are there any other log files I should check (besides Xorg.0.log)?
