Re: [Newbie]X on MAC OSX Again

[Alex Vaughan]

(Sorry for the double, Eric)

Hi,

I'm having similar problems. I've reinstalled DevTools (July2k, no updates), and installed X via the Xinstall app from
http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xonx/XInstall_10.1.sit . This installs 4.2.0.


As with Lamont, this _has_ worked, but no longer. I don't recall it working since I installed Jaguar, actually. (I'm sending this to fink folk as well, but I thought I'd cast my line here.)

When I start up from console, I get the gray X screen, and a spinning mac lollipop (in grayscale?), which sits there forever doing nothing until I reboot. Starting from terminal (startx -- -quartz, standard permissions) yesterday gave something similar, where it was waiting for Xwindows to begin accepting events (or something like that, I didn't write it down, stupidly) and it waited until I tired of it.


Starting from the terminal (starx -- -quartz, standard permissions) gives the following:

""
2002-10-31 11:53:45.511 XDarwin[480]
XDarwin 1.1
Running in parallel with Mac OS X Quartz window server.

newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

waiting for X server to shut down Quitting XDarwin...

libSystem.B.dylib doesn't exist, although libSystem.dylib (a binary) does.
~/.Xauthority doesn't exist, but .Xauth-OSX does. I'm loathe to change anything in /usr/lib/, though I suppose I could try renaming .Xauth-OSX to .Xauthority

Any hints?

Thanks,
Alex
