OK - I've been trying to get sawfish running as my window manager in x for
about two weeks. I finally got everything to install and compile properly,
but when I start Xdarwin, it just quits. I looked at the fink page for some
help on this, but couldn't find a similar issue. Here's the output I get
when I type "startx" in Terminal:
--
Welcome to Darwin!
[localhost:~] name% startx
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System

Release Date: 18 January 2002
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
Using keymapping provided in /System/Library/Keyboards/USA.keymapping.
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root

Failed to connect to the HID System as the window server!
Fatal server error:
Quit the Mac OS X window server or use the -quartz option.
OsVendorFatalError

giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

I also tried to edit my .xinitrc, but it is an invisble file that I can't
seem to open even when logged in as root.
Can someone help?
