Muchas gracias Alexander (I'm practicing Spanish for my upcoming trip to Costa Rica),
I'll be gone for a couple of weeks and when I return I'd like to get some help on switching from xfree86 to x.org after all I've read about it being a better version with transparency and all. I'd want to know how to remove xfree86 without bunging up all the dependencies.



This is actually not a problem: if you install xorg, xfree86 is automatically replaced.


I could then use your qt3-3.3.3-26.deb file and hopefully be on my way! If there are any FAQ on this I haven't seen them as yet. Anyway, I'll be in touch in a bit.
Again, I can't thank you enough for all the help.
Feliz navidad y prospero ano!!
Brian




I'll point you to my apt repository, so that you can get any/all dependencies.

Additionally, a dumb question, but do I launch xorg from terminal.app? I currently have Xdarwin on my dock.
Thanks again



Xorg will install a version of XDarwin.app, too.

Thanks again,
I downloaded and almost got xorg installed but obviously I need to remove some old clutter. Can you help?
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6/lib.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-shlibs again. (The package won't be recompiled.)


Press Return to continue.
