There was another poster recently with an identical problem--the problem in their case was resolved by a reinstall (i.e. "fink reinstall xfree86")

According to the mailing list archives this problem occurred a .1 OS version ago too:

[/] %% startx -- -quartz

Same thing from opening XDarwin.


This is from as clean an installation as I can make:

122 18:04 sudo rm -rf /etc/X11 /usr/X11R6 /sw /Volumes/UserPartition/sw /Applications/XDarwin.app/

(here is where I installed fink 0.6.2 on /Volumes/UserPartition)

   123  18:06   rehash
   124  18:06   fink install xfree86
   125  21:43   rehash
   126  21:43   startx -- -quartz

(this gave the XCOMM error which I repaired by:)

   128  21:46   sudo vi /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
   129  21:47   startx -- -quartz

Btw, Fink Commander only shows an install from source for 4.3.0-14. No packages available?
