I installed Cheese and VLC from the Raspbian repositories. The programs worked perfectly until I tried to restart the computer. Now, after executing startx I get a black screen. After killing X I see the following error message:

No protocol specified

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
No protocol specified
..
No protocol specified
.. Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Bad file descriptor
xinit: server error

Can anyone help me to fix this error?

They've been downloaded from the raspbian repositories – hellocatfood Oct 17 '12 at 15:37
