Title: Re: [Fink-beginners] XDarwin crashes almost immediately
Alexander:

many thanks for your reply.

I have a file (~/.xinitrc) that is empty and a file (/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) whose contents I paste below.

I previously had Apple's X11 running fine, but I could not get this to work with subsequent Fink installations, so I removed it and use Fink Commander to install xfree86 and xfree86-shlibs.

My suspicion from the nature of your error message is that you've got something going on with your ~/.xinitrc file (or if you don't have one, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc).

Did you by any chance create the former or modify the latter?
