We are having problems with GUI interface. When rebooting Xwindow fails
to come up and the above message is given.

I have tried a new video card without any success.

Here is the xdm-error file:
xdm error (pid 5663): error 48 binding socket address 177

Any ideas what this means and how to fix it?

Many thanks.
