Cannot Start xserver

[Kalyan Sundar]

Barry,
This is brand new server and we are in a process of moving our application
to this server.
I am not sure that this is an issue with memory.

Please find the result of top command:

I will check with reconfiguring display and let you know the results..

Thanks,
