If you don't have OS 10.3.x then that's fine--XFree86 doesn't work with 10.3.x as of yet.

As to which version to pick up: xfree86-base | rootless-threaded is kind of a hack to add threading support to XFree86-4.2.1.1. If you don't need threading, then you probably want just xfree86-base | rootless. xfree86 is XFree86-4.3.0, and has thread support built in, but you might wind up having to do more upgrades.

Alexander, thanks for the quick response.

Am I selecting the right packages to upgrade? I want to be sure before I
attempt this.

Hi.

After a long night of my PowerBook G4 1 Ghz doing an update-all, I was
unable to finish compiling and upgrading. I had to uninstall Gaim and Pan
due to dependency issues earlier:

sudo /sw/bin/fink  update-all

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency.
The
candidates:

data
(2) xfree86-base: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(3) xfree86: XFree86 distribution


Pick one: [1] 1
