X failed yesterday after weekly -Syu

running Arch on a VirtualBox (on a Mac) latest version, 3.1.2.  Upgraded Arch yesterday (I do so weekly, at least) and now get this X error:

/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 1 /usr/bin/X: Success
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
Xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

what next?  Might this be a Virtual Additions issue...?

I don't have an xorg.conf

many thanks,

dave

Re: X failed yesterday after weekly -Syu

Sounds like /usr/bin/X crashed on startup.  Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or whatever display number you use instead of 0) to see if there are any relevant error messages.

Try change the permissions of the file X, chmod +s.
