Here's your problem: you have system-xfree86 installed, meaning that you were using an XFree86 distribution from some other source than fink. You'll either need to update your XFree86 manually from the source you used and then update system-xfree86, or replace your existing X installation with fink's: sudo rm -rf /Applications/XDarwin.app /usr/X11R6 /private/etc/X11 fink install xfree86-rootless (the latter will install xfree86-base, too). -- Alexander K.
