Hello,
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).
Start the server with the argument -listen_tcp, which makes it's way to
the startx script and reverses the sense of the -nolisten_tcp argument
to the server, which causes or rmoves the socket ata 6000. It was
removed in an unwarranted (my own opinion here) fit of security
paranoia. It IS a security breach, but you sure lose of lot of things
when yo lose the socket.
Is this normal?
I note that these packages install a XDarwin that
seems to be a commercial product.
Is this a restricted gratis version?
