'X -version' should do it.

I installed freebsd 4.3 and im running Xfree86 version 3.3.6. I installed it
from the ports
and configure the video card "s3 trio 64V+ . however when i try to run
startx i get the following message execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
(errno 2)
_X11Transsocket UNIXConnect: Cant connect :errno = 2

i have the path to /usr/X11R6/bin Xfree86
and in the /etc/Xfree86config
also the file .xinitrc has the following lines:
exec fvwm

what can be wrong?
