Can't start X as user
Hello,
I just updated everything on my system from Voodoo to Duke with "pacman -Syu" as root. Although X works fine run as root (this is what I'm doing now) I cannot start it as a regular user.
I get the error:
Fatal Server Error:
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"
Both logfiles are present, so I don't know what the problem could be. Any suggestions, or a recommended place to start looking? A quick Google search didn't yield anything useful.
[edit] It appears someone else beat me to making this topic by a couple of minutes. Sorry for missing that!

well, i had the same problem and this fixes it :-). now, to keep fools away from removing your "/usr/bin/Xorg" file make sure you do this after changing permissions:
chmod -c 755 /usr/bin/Xorgjust my thought :-)
