With 1.3, isn't /usr/X11/bin/X a setuid wrapper that reads the server to load from the plaintext file /etc/X11/Xserver? [or something similar. The name eludes me at the moment. Xconfig? perhaps.. I dunno, it's late] I guess this was done for security reasons? Anyone know? I don't imagine anything would break if you symlinked X to your XF86server but you'd bypass /etc/X11/X<whatever>, defeating whatever purpose it had.
