From this little information it is, of course, impossible to guess what went wrong. Among the numerous possibilities, there is, however, a bug in Apple's X11 that will bite everyone in your situation, and you could try if fixing it will help with your problems. It is described, for example, in this thread: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user/25864/focus=25865> You can try to fix it with the following command: sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's|2.0.0|2.1.0|' /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.la If this helps in your situation, we should probably have a FAQ entry about it (although the bug might get fixed with one of the next Apple SoftwareUpdates anyway). The reason why this bug does not get more attention is that it bites only those who start with OSX 10.5.2 preinstalled. If you have a machine that came with 10.5.1 or earlier and then upgrade to 10.5.2, you won't see it. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
