Depends on what system version you're on. Could be easy as one click or a little more complex.

Look in Settings>About Phone to find out, and post back here

Gingerbreak is the easiest way I know of to root the DX. U download the app, then push the root button. That's it. I wish rooting all phones was that easy.

Gingerbreak only works on a pretty outdated software version, there have been a couple updates to the Droid X software that it won't root. This thread is also pretty old at this point, I don't think OP is ever coming back to check it

Ya, I didn't think he'd actually see it. A lot of people I talk to don't know about gingerbread, so I figured I'd throw it out there. Had to do a factory reset, and now I'm back to 2.3.3, so it worked great for me. Also, I'm in an extended network, so verizon catch push me updates if they wanted too.

*I meant gingerbreak, not gingerbread

Yeah most people I know never heard of Gingerbreak either, it was nice because it was like z4root where you could root the device with just the app, no computer required.
