/usr/bin/X11 is a directory - no wonder it won't exec.

I got this when upgrading too.  Somewhere along the upgrade I was
asked if I wanted to change the xserver to something, and said yes.
It messed up somehow and set the default xserver to " "

I didn't know too much about setting up X so I went back to hamm X,
then I understood this, upgraded again and answered "no" to
the change question.
You can probably fix it a lot faster by deinstalling your favourite
xserver package and reinstalling it.  Or even better - just change the default
to the server you want to use.  I don't know how to do that though.

By the way, why do you want to change from s3v to svga?  I use
s3v without problems, is svga faster or do you have a stability problem?
