Hi, So, I found the old Panther recipe for getting this to work, <http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21116> (towards the end of the page) and, it actually works! I typed startx from console and it worked! ("startx --IOKit" actually froze when the "grey screen" from x11 appeared). The one remaining problem is that the alt/option key seems to not work at all, which might suggest that the keymapping file I installed has problems... Any ideas?
