X and Fluxbox :: Problems installing XFree86

This is whats in my .xserverrc

exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp -mouse /dev/input/mice,5 -screen 1280x1024x32 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

I get this errormessage now.

xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to x server
xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error

I'd change the "&>/dev/null" to "&>x.log" and attempt to startx again. It will fail again, but you'll at least now have a log file to check what might be going wrong.

Is .xserverrc executable?

I got an error message similar to your first one, so I typed in /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 and it (sort ot...) worked...
