Hi

Thanks ahead for considering this message 

I can run xfconfig and sax on SUSE 6.0 with XF86 3.3.3.1, However when I
run startx I get the message  below.   

"The file XF86_xxxx (binary of X-Server) doesn't seem to be a binary
file.
Please check it or / and install a new X-Server-binary.
I'm aborting now."

I don't understand what the message is telling me.  Also, please tell me
the process and commands that would correct this.

 
OS SuSE 6.0
XF86 version 3.3.3.1
graphics card matrox millenium g200

I don't think it is card specific.  I swapped out cards, a different
manufacture, same message.

Thanks

Mike

Log in as root, do a "file /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA" and see what the reply
is.
