Cannot find a free VT



Hi!
When i try to start the X by startx or by xinit i get the following errors:

XFree86 Version 3.1.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6000)
Operating System: Linux
Configured drivers:
  S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
      mmio_928, s3_generic

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot find a free VT

TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

I have read the XFree86 HOWTO and the howto/mini/consoles but it dont help me.
/dev/tty7 is free of a getty process, i also free /dev/tty6 form getty and
reboot but dont help.

Any tips?
TIA, Oscar.
