I have read the faq on this and I am still a bit baffled.

A command line launch of XFree86 using "startx" gives me:

Display mode: IOKit
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
   AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 61):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

According to the faq, this means that either Quartz didn't get
installed or the sim-links are fried. An ls-l on /usr/X11R6/bin shows:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin       14 May  3 10:26 X -> XDarwinStartup
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  3632940 Dec 23 03:54 XDarwin
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin       48 May  3 10:26 XDarwinQuartz -> 
/Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     9620 Dec 23 03:54 XDarwinStartup

Which should be correct.

The only thing currently installed other than Xfree itself is
WindowMaker.

What am I missing?
