I'm not sure if you understood me - I intended you to change root's PATH by, for example, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin (and similarly to change the user's PATH for normal use of X), but I'm reading that you might have edited the script to change xauth to /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth - if that is what you've done, you should revert the changes. But, 'cannot execute binary file' is a whole different can of worms. I've been assuming that you are on an x86 machine, and that you built xorg after building LFS. Are you doing something different ? This particular error message is normally associated with cross-compiling, or with trying to execute 64-bit binaries with a 32-bit kernel. What does "ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit" say ? Or "readelf -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit | grep interpreter" ?
