[Fink-beginners] Problem running rootless X - assert failure

[Kendall H. G. <kg...@po...>]

  I'm trying to run XFree86 installed through fink (the ultimate goal 
being to run XEmacs outside a terminal window). I'm currently running OS 
X 10.1.2 (though I don't yet have the December developer tools CD 
installed yet, I'm downloading it right now).

I used "fink install" with  "xfree86-base" and "xfree86-server" 
packages.  Then I try to run "sudo startx -- -quartz" from the terminal 
(after setting the path properly of course) and get the following results:

----------
Running in parallel with Mac OS X Quartz window server.

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

Fatal server error:
assert failed on line 454 of darwinKeyboard.c!

   OsVendorFatalError
   AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
------------

Does anyone know if I might have something set up incorrectly, or how 
else I might solve this problem?  Might it be that I need to recompile 
everything with the newer development tools, and if so how do I force a 
rebuild through fink?

Thanks!
