Did you even try to follow the instructions in the message?

Follow the instructions, then search the FAQ and the mailing list
archives for any messages it contains. If you're still confused,
post the full contents of /tmp/Xwin.log. Remember - nobody on
the list can see your PC, so you're going to have to provide as
much information as possible, including what you've tried to do
to resolve the problem.
