Ah, true, true. :) Well, then my next complaint would be with a bootstrapped X11. Apple X11 seems nice enough, but when I tried XFree86 it was totally ugly (weird non-Mac-like cursor and window behavior, etc.) I didn't try xorg, and I don't know if sources for Apple X11 are available. But again I wouldn't see any need to build it since Apple X11 is included with the operating system. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
