Specifically, that 'X' is no in my path. Just guessing: X is a symbolic link to the appropriate X server you want to use. if X is there (the symbolic link) but the executable it is linked to, e.g. XF86_SVGA then which X will return /usr/X11R6/bin/X but trying to execute /usr/X11R6/bin/X will result in /usr/X11R6/bin/X: Command not found. when the executable isn't there. > > This despite the fact that /usr/X11R6/bin is definitely in the path, and > both "which X" and "which XF86_SVGA" return the correct locations.
