This is getting past ridiculous and into the sublime I think, when the 
problem might be fixed by booting to runlevel 3, and cd'ing 
to /var/locks, and cleaning out the x related lockfiles.  Its worth a 
look anyway, and far more educational than trying to make sense out of 
shorthanded english when we don't know the shorthand version.  After 
that, any other problems should be readily evident in the logs.
