inconsistency between server and config file?

["Alan Su" <alsu@beowulf.ucsd.edu>]

All this talk about setting up the X server got me wondering.  So, I
checked it out, and it seems that there's some kind of inconsistency
on my machine:

:>11:31 [1] alsu (alsu):/home/alsu -> ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X
:>lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           26 Nov 11 23:31 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64*
:>11:31 [2] alsu (alsu):/home/alsu -> cat /etc/X11/Xserver
:>/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
:>Console
:>
:>The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server.
:>The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server:
:>RootOnly
:>Console      (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console)
:>Anybody
:>

'ps' shows that X (and therefore, XF86_Mach64) is running.  So, what
is it that the /etc/X11/Xserver file does?  Thanks!
