when linux starts the xinit I am unable to connect to X server (erno 111) and ofcourse after I got Server error (errno 3).

The reason for this is something got messed up with su . For instance when I type "sudo" I get back "sorry ,sudo must be setuid root " and same for "sudo su" . When I type "su" amd I enter the password I get back " setgid: Operation not permitted" . Oddly the attributes seems okey I think : ls -l /bin/su and I get *-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root .
I did chown 4755 /bin/su and then chmod 4755 /bin/su and permisions couldn't change ("operation not permitted) . I run out of ideas here and I am not really familiar apart basics with the unix console . So any help will be more than welcome .
