XFree86 4.0.2 upgrade
Recently I installed XFree86 on my Intel box in the hopes of getting the
NVIDIA drivers up and running. I changed the config files for apt to
point to the unstable distro and did the upgrade but it didn't seem to
work. Currently I can't even get X up and running and am thinking about
reinstalling potato, however I would like to avoid that. Here is the
error message I get.
X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X
After checking I find the file does exist under /usr/X11R6/bin/X. I
tried to simply copy it to the etc/X11 no luck. Tried to create a
symlink in X11 no luck. Copying it I get a message like this:
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections

Has anyone run into something similar? I have run xf86config and
manually checked to make sure the xserver packages and fonts are
installed. Any enlightment that could be given is greatly appreciated.
