Re: Bug#369502: x11-common: /usr/bin/X doesn't start X anymore

After an upgrade from xorg 6.9 to 7.0, startx and other scripts

IMHO for compatibility and especialy during the transition X should be
a wrapper around Xorg.

Interestingly X itself doesn't print any error why it couldnt
start x, it just exits. There is not even a warning.
IMHO this should be fixed to, to avoid problems during and after
upgrade

Please check if your /etc/X11/X symlink points to /bin/true - for me this had happened on update 6.9->7.0 - this symlink needs to point to /usr/bin/Xorg for everything to work.
