That won't do. I recommend doing a relatively clean install of one or the other--just to make sure that you aren't mixing and matching files from two different versions. If you want Apple's X11: 1) run "sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends xfree86-shlibs" 2) Make sure you have your Tiger X11User.pkg file handy (e.g. your install media) 3) run "rm -rf /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg" 4) Reinstall X11User.pkg from your install media. 5) Verify that you have system-xfree86, system-xfree86-dev, system-xfree86-shlibs, x11, x11-dev and x11-shlibs. If you want XFree86: 1) run "sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6" 2) run "fink reinstall xfree86-shlibs" 3) run "fink install xfree86" -- Alexander K.
