There is an bug report about it at
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41021
that was marked a duplicate of a related one I opened
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40970

I believe this is caused by some old code in drakx-kdb-mouse-x11,
from when there were alternate X Servers, as the link is properly
created when installing x11-server-xorg.

You can fix it by running something like:

$ sudo ln -sf ../../../usr/bin/Xorg /usr/share/X11/X
