Yeah, in RH /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a symlink, but with Debian I don't have any symlinks. Instead I have /etc/Xserver : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA Console The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server. The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server: RootOnly Console (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console) Anybody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This file tells Debian (I don't know which part ;-)) which X server to use. BTW, I still have 3.3.6 but I am upgrading to woody at the moment. -D
