I've got xfree86-base and xfree86-rootless fink installed but it seems that this X server can't talk to the network (nothing's listening on 6000 port, and I can't use localhost:0.0).
Is this normal?
I note that these packages install a XDarwin that seems to be a commercial product. Is this a restricted gratis version?
(The web site http://www.xdarwin.org/ is not helpful, http://www.xdarwin.org/faq/ is not available anymore (while google still cites: ... people get confused between Fink's: 'xfree86-base' - 'xfree86-rootless ... xauth authentication, opening ports 6000-6063 is ... also be the slowest network route, though ... www.xdarwin.org/faq/ - 53k - En cache - Pages similaires the cache shows the same useless page as http://www.xdarwin.org/faq/)).
xdarwin.org is people reselling XFree86, and I might add, they're intentially vague about it not really being their software.
The "real" XFree86 is perfectly gratis, just pretend xdarwin.org doesn't exist. :P
As for your problem, what OS are you on? I understand our XFree86 package is basically broken on 10.3 and no one's had the opportunity to fix it yet.
