/etc/X11/X is supposed to be a symbolic link to the default X server. You can restore it to the XFree86 server with sudo ln -fs /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 /etc/X11/X . -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
