Jeff Whitaker had an earlier post about this. Quoting him: Apple's X11 will work with fink xfree86-4.2.1.1 on 10.2.3. I tested this by installing xfree86-base, xfree86-rootless (and shlibs), then copying over /Applications/X11.app, /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz, /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm and /usr/X11R6/lib/libapplexp.1.0.dylib from an Apple X11 installation. Double click on the X11 icon in /Applications, and voila, quartz-wm fires up. Not as fast as running the full Apple installation though, but I suspect once xfree86 4.3 is released there won't be a noticeable difference. Would be nice if someone would package up just those files from Apple's X11 , as alternative to Oroborus X.
You'd need to do this because the Apple X11 doesn't have a rooted server. Once you have such a setup, then you'll want to do defaults write org.xfree86.XDarwin Display 1 in a terminal window. This sets the default display at 1 when you run XDarwin.app. Then you can start Apple's X11 server from its icon. Change your window manager by editing .xinitrc, and then run XDarwin from its icon. This was the simplest way I could think of to do it. I tried using xinit, but it killed the Apple X11 session on display 0 . It's kind of a pain, but does work. I've actually got Apple X11 on display 0, OroborOSX on display 1 and a fullscreen KDE session on display 2 right now.
