/usr/bin/X11 is a directory - no wonder it won't exec. I got this when upgrading too. Somewhere along the upgrade I was asked if I wanted to change the xserver to something, and said yes. It messed up somehow and set the default xserver to " " I didn't know too much about setting up X so I went back to hamm X, then I understood this, upgraded again and answered "no" to the change question. You can probably fix it a lot faster by deinstalling your favourite xserver package and reinstalling it. Or even better - just change the default to the server you want to use. I don't know how to do that though. By the way, why do you want to change from s3v to svga? I use s3v without problems, is svga faster or do you have a stability problem? Helge Hafting
