Subject:   execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno 8)?

I'm trying to set up X on a 4.2-STABLE (as of 2/13/2001 cvsup) machine.
I used xf86config to generate /etc/XF86Config, and copied it to 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/.  /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a link to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA,
the permissions on which are set to 755.

When I run xinit or startx, either as a user or as root, I get:

execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/X (errno 8)

I don't think this was the case last fall when the system was a 4.0 straight-
out-of-the-box install.  At the time, I got as far as trying out the modes
and not having them sync up correctly.  /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA still has a 
timestamp from that initial 4.0 install.  

Any other info I can provide?  Where should I go from here?

Thanks!
