I think root's default path doesn't include the X11 directory (safety reasons, I guess). Or did you try it from a normal user account and got this error? Then I don't know why... startx is in /usr/X11/bin . My .login in the normal account contains set path = (/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/bin \ /usr/X11R6/b in $HOME/bin) by default. Bye, Philipp -- P.
