I have noticed an interesting thing about Apple's X11. I have Gnome
installed. (Thanks for the help getting installed.) When I am running
in Gnome the Mac menu bar doesn't hide and it covers the Gnome menu
bar. From looking around I see I can't hide the Gnome menu bar. Also

I don't know of a way to hide the MacOS menubar.
To get XDarwin back, follow the instructions in

When you have XDarwin back, then you can indeed login as >console, with
no password, to be able to launch X from the console.

Here's a related question:
Does anyone know how to configure Gnome to do one of the following with
its menu bar:
a) offset the Gnome menu bar (so it would be below the Apple menu bar)
When I used Fink's XFree86, the Gnome menu bar appeared immediately
below the Apple menu bar. Now that I us
OK, I am a unix newbie but have been diving into learning. I dumped all
of my previous xfree installations and started anew with Apples new X11
release. I am now stuck with the heavily threaded problem of xterm
window stuck in the upper left and inability to scroll up more than a
page.
So here
The window being stuck looks like the window manager isn't being invoked
correctly, due possibly to PATH issues. Try adding
. /sw/bin/init.sh
at the beginning of your .xinitrc
The xterm scrollbar problem has nothing to do with .xinitrc . You'll need

Hi,
I am using Apple's X11 and Fink's system-xfree86. They work fine. I
only installed Fink's ghostscript package, though.
Now I would like to uninstall Apple's X11 without crashing the
system, and want to start using Fink's XDarwin with xfree86-base and
xfree86-rootless.
I know that I have to
I installed fink and have successfully installed wget using
it. It didn't need x window support. I have now downloaded

Is the process for installing Gnome different with Apple's X11 than
previously? I looked in the archives and can't seem to find anything
related. As well there are so many Gnome packages, what is the base

note Alexander's earlier post:
If you want to delete Apple X11, you can delete /usr/X11R6. Be sure to
remove the system-xfree86 package as well, if you are going to keep
your
fink installation intact.

Thanks for the post.
I could not find the Alexander's earlier post at that time.
According to the suggestion, I rm /usr/X11R6.
It appeared that I had to rm /etc/X11, too.
Optionally I can rm X11.app application in the Application folder.
I deleted system-xfree86, and installed xfree86-base and -roo
Hi,

system-xfree86 is a virtual package now, so it should automatically get
installed if your X11 setup is right. However, if you are installing
from source ("fink install") then you need to install the X11 SDK
package as well--it's on the XCode Tools CD.

You may want to try running the library name patch (see
http://fink.sourceforge.net in the news section), and you'll need
system-xfree86 installed, but otherwise, there should be no differences.
Do you mean just the WM, or the taskbars and other stuff? Assuming you
mean the latter, then install g
I noticed that both utilize some form of OpenGL acceleration, so I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a significant speed increase in 3D programs by using both or if one was better than the other or if they have conflicts. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Try number 2
I followed the steps in Q8.12. The first line gave me a number of warnings telling me nothing was actually being removed. I followed with the next two steps listed.
I reinstalled Apple's X11 even though it was still there. I reinstalled Apple's X11 SDK for the third time. It was
Wow. I don't see anything in the 3dpong info file.
The only things I can think of are to run "fink index" and "fink
scanpackages".

I have run fink selfupdate several times. Running it again it returns a

I followed your suggested instructions and carefully deleted Apple X11, X11 SDK etc with
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11 /Applications/Utilities/X11.app \
/Library/Receipts/X11*
and reinstalled them. Testing the result with an attempted install of gimp, Fink returns:

I've been reading the documentation, and from what I figure out, if I
want to run fink X applications under Apple X11, I need to have Apple
X11 installed, then the Apple X11 SDK, and then install
system-xfree86 from fink.
Well, it doesn't want to work.
Apple X11 and the SDK install fine.

Quoting the Running X11 page:
"As of the time of this writing, to use the Apple binaries you will
need to make sure you have the Fink system-xfree86 package, version
4.2-11 or higher "
You need to update your package descriptions.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
