X Won't Start?

Hello,

I've been having fits getting X to start on my Lenovo X60 Tablet.  
Everything was running fine, when I decided to go into Sax and enable the 
tablet portion on my tablet.  Now when I reboot my computer, X won't 
start automatically.  If I log in as me I get an error that it "cannot 
create server lock file: /tmp/X0-lock".  However if I login as root, x 
starts up without any problems.  Except of course for the fact that I am 
now running as root.

There were three saved Xorg.conf file in my /etc directory, which I have 
tried with no success.

Where is the next place to check for a solution?  I do have Compiz-Fusion 
enabled.  Could that be the issue?  Though it was working fine for 
several days before I decided to go mucking about.

Remove the file as root, then try starting X as a normal user.

I actually went out and looked, and that file didn't exist.  I found that 
if I boot using the Failsafe option and then "init 5" everything
starts 
up fine.  So, after playing around with boot options, I have found that 
everything works when I add the "acpi=off noapic" options.

Any idea why this would be needed all of the sudden?

Tim,

I haven't got the slightest idea.

I'm still wondering about the file error. Can you create the file manually? File
rights for "/tmp" should be drwxrwxrwt
