[Fink-users] Xfree86 hides from me

[Gander <rg...@je...>]

Hey all,

I've been installing various packages the last few days to take a look
around.  I wanted to take a look at Gnome and downloaded all the packages
that Fink recommended.  I am having trouble with xfree86.  I've read through
the xfree86 troubleshooting tips at sourceforge, but haven't been able to
resolve the problem. I tried all relevant fixes listed at the site and was
making progress until I picked up the last comments in the terminal log
below.  I am running OS 10.1 (without the latest update).
The following is from the terminal session :
--
Running in parallel with Mac OS X Quartz window server.
Using keymapping provided in /System/Library/Keyboards/USA.keymapping.

XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Darwin
Display mode: Quartz
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

I am still very much a newbie at this.  Any comments or a point in the right
direction to help me get this up and running would be appreciated.  :)

Thanks,
Rich
