Last time you reported a fink list xfree86, it showed that xfree86-rootless was not installed.Now use tell me that its still not installed ? amazing... ok, now what should I do next? I been following the instruction's given to a "T"
Let me speak very slowly:
When you say "fink install xfree86-base", it compiles 4 (four) packages, but it installs only 2 (two).
For a completely working X11 system, you need the other 2, too. They are not installed automatically. You need to install them separately.
fink install xfree86-rootless
(or use FinkCommander to install it)
This will, in fact, install both of the missing packages.
They will not be recompiled, only installed. It takes only a couple of seconds.
Now why this is so, is another question. You may call it a bug that these two packages are needed, but not installed. I think this was discussed some time ago, but I am willing to take it up again with the package maintainer, because I too think it behaves like a bug.
