Oh I see, I misunderstood the earlier postings on not installing the X11 config -- thought I was just getting the XDarwin.app equivalent. If you do remove all the fink xfree86 stuff, do you then have to install the Apple X11 config part as well? And another question...anyone know how to run both a rooted and rootless X at the same time? i.e. both XDarwin (rooted) and Apple's X11 (which is only rootless)? I have used multiple virtual desktops for so long I can't work without them, but I would like the graphics speed up for specific apps too. A FAQ explaining how all the bits fit together and what works with what (gives what advantages with what) might be what's needed, since even if you do screw up the installation (like me) it does all seem to work together to a first approximation, presumably because it is mostly the same XFree86 underneath. (And I'm sure I can fix my mess once I understand what I actually want to run...) thanks! -- Viv ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
