As soon as I am logged into Linux, I type

# xinit

Setting TCP SO_LINGER : Protocol not available

Fatal server error:

===========================================================================

Why am I getting these messages when I type in xinit?
Is there a configuration file for X-Windows(like config.sys for MSDOS)?
How do I start the X session( from shell )?
