Problems with X and SB under 2.1.126

Hey all, forgive me if this has already been answered and I simply
missed it.

I'm running the 2.1.126 kernel, with no patches (except the one in
acct.c that fixed the typo...;), and now nothing under X works. I get
the xdm root window up, but the stderr keeps spitting out "Socket()
failed" and "can't open socket for local", or somthing to that effect
(please forgive me, I'm at work right now, far from my computer). Either
way, no X clients (most importantly, the KDE display manager so I can
login) come up. Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Also, I'm running a Packard Bell POS (I know...but it was cheap and I'm
a college student.) Either way, it has a "SoundBlaster Compatible" sound
card. Well, it isn't SB-compatible. It's PnP. I've tried using the
various PnP tools that came with RH5.1...no joy. Any ideas?

Thanks all.
Rob

BTW, if you could respond to me directly via email, that would be great.
