Now I see why exec of XF86_SVGA failed....the file does not exist in /usr/bin/X11.
This appears to be some sort of an install error....I was never asked to download that file and put it there, this should have happened automatically I would think when I choose to do a 'simple' install of an X Window system. So is there some error in the install system or did I do something wrong?
