i gues this means i have xfree86 installed right?
Possibly not. This is what you get if you have X11 installed, as well.
Here's some suggestions:
1) check what version of the fink package you have (either in Fink Commander or with "fink --version in a terminal). If it's less than 0.17, you'll want to update it, because the newer versions have better X11 detection.
2) If you decide that you want to try Apple's X11 one more time, then
a) Remove the XDarwin application if it's around. Martin's script claims you have XDarwin, but you shouldn't have both it and Apple's X11.
b) Get rid of the X11 application too.
c) Run the following command in a terminal
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11 /Library/Packages/X11User.pkg
d) reinstall the X11User package. That way you have a clean install.
3) If you want to install using "fink install" (or Source->install) you need to install the X11 SDK as well.
but can you use xfree86 instead of x11 because up to this point x11 is very tempermental.

You can---you'll need to clean things out as per b) and c) above.
