I think you can ignore those.  I get them on one of
my machines too (without ill effect).

That's the default X screen (the one you get when you 
startx without a window manager).  Have a look in 
/root/.xinitrc and make sure that it starts a window 
manager (eg swm or icewm) and that all other processes 
are started with a  &  at the end.

Probably nothing to worry about.  I assume you exited X
by pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or CTRL-ALT-DEL.  That 
breaks the connection and gives you a "connection to X
server lost" message.

Cheers,
