... that actually made me laugh heartily.

Try to check whether /tmp on the machine you're trying to run Xorg on
has /tmp set up right (as an actual directory, writable to everyone,
with the sticky-bit set). If /tmp happens to be something else, you
should be able to (re)create it correctly by issuing

# rm -f /tmp || rmdir /tmp; mkdir /tmp; chmod 1777 /tmp

Hth!
