I'm in a strange situation where I once successfully installed X on my
machine, then
deleted it, and now can't get it installed again. The problem is that
XDarwin dies
immediately, without drawing any X windows. This happens even when I
supply
the -keymap USA.keymapping option to startx. The only difference I can
think of
this time around is that the first time might have been when I was
running a version
of mosX earlier than my current 10.1.2.
Here's what I did this time:
Installed Fink 0.3.2.
It complained, and told me to do a ``sudo apt-get update'', which I
did.
sudo apt-get install xfree86-rootless
startx -- -rootless -keymap USA.keymapping &
sudo chown root /tmp/.X11-unix (because startx complained)
startx -- -rootless -keymap USA.keymapping &
The output from startx is below. The only error message that gives a
hint as to the
problem seems to be ``cat: /Users/bcrowell/.Xauthority: No such file or
directory''.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
