A Fink install (yesterday) onto iBook G4 OSX 10.3.9 Can anyone decipher the problem from the output messages below? The X11 FAQ indicate that "Could not find keymapping file USA.keymapping" can be fatal, but I do not understand the remedy that is proposed. Nor do you need to--that's for 10.2. Other possible problems: "Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!" Nope--I get this "Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device). Thus no job control in this shell." Sometimes this happens, but this is intermittent usually. many thanks for any (patiently detailed) help ben ........................................................................................................................ 2005-06-17 08:24:46.704 XDarwin[369] XDarwin 1.3.0 XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 29 February 2004     If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is     newer than the above date, look for a newer version before     reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Operating System: Darwin Apple Computer, Inc.
