That is definately a problem. Do you get anything with which X ? In the past X has always been a (sym)link to the appropriate server, in my case running Deb 3.0r1, XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1, X is an elf binary, not a link. You could try su -c "cd /usr/bin/X11 ; ln XFree86 X" As long as its already broken expertimenting can't hurt. Unfortunately I'd fall back on reinstalling, there should be a way to force the reinstall of just that package, I don't know for sure which package, and it's probably moderately large. Hopefully someone can give you details on which package and how to force it.
