Alex (and the list),
I followed your advice and have these XFree86 packages installed:
i xfree86-base 4.2.1.1-18 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients
and data
i xfree86-base-dev 4.2.1.1-18 Placeholder for X11 dev packages,
version 4.2
i xfree86-base-shlibs 4.2.1.1-18 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients
and data
i xfree86-rootless 4.2.1.1-18 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients
and data
i xfree86-rootless-shlibs 4.2.1.1-18 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients
and data
Is the above combination is what I should have?
Here's why I ask -- When I start OroborOSX it complains, "OroborOSX has failed to
launch XDarwin!"
When I try starting XDarwin.app directly it asks me if I would like to run Full Screen
or Rootless.
When I choose Rootless it runs a little more then quits. When I start Full Screen I
get a startup
window then XDarwin exits.
I have gone to the OroborOSX FAQs and have done the troubleshooting they recommended.
I did think
of a few things to try on my own. Here's what I see when I look in /usr/X11R6/bin:
[mogwai:~] jbreazeale% cd /usr/X11R6/bin
[mogwai:/usr/X11R6/bin] jbreazeale% ls -l X*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 14 Mar 4 22:22 X -> XDarwinStartup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root unknown 3432688 Mar 4 06:03 XDarwin
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 48 Mar 4 22:22 XDarwinQuartz ->
/Applications/XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root unknown 16032 Mar 4 06:04 XDarwinStartup
. . .
[mogwai:/usr/X11R6/bin] jbreazeale%
When I try starting X on the command line I see the following:
mogwai:/usr/X11R6/bin] jbreazeale% X&
[1] 617
[mogwai:/usr/X11R6/bin] jbreazeale%
