The version I installed was 4.2.0. Ergh... in regards to the second question, I'm not sure? :) I just did 'fink install system-xfree86'. The only thing I could see was something about fink saying that xfree86 had to be better than version 4 or something? which mine was. I will try and investigate which version i was trying to install via fink when I get home tonight. That could be the problem? Do I have to make sure fink is trying to make a placeholder for a 4.2.0 version??
Thanks for any help, and the prompt reply!
