Hi

Current Operating System: Linux host.webofunni.com 2.6.27.10 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 24 21:37:14 CET 2008 i686

Just for information for the next person, the OP reported on the mailing list that:
| Code: | I have got a fix from Xorg mailing list :
setuid was not set. I have set that and X is working now.
bash-3.2$ ls -l /usr/bin/Xorg
-rwsrwxrwx 1 root root 1563180 Feb 19 15:31 /usr/bin/Xorg
bash-3.2$
