After logging out X11 is no longer called. I can open Terminal.app as well. But as soon as I try to open X11 I get the same recurring problem. Should I try to re-install X11 from the sytem disk? in my .xinitrc I just have the path for fink: source /sw/bin/init.sh nothing else. From my .profile I removed all export commands which were recommended on the Fink Website. So it is empty now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
