Here's the repeated error message from the system logs. ------------------- bootstrap_check_in().

Mach service: com.google.Keystone.Daemon ------------------- I can't find .xinitrc and .xinitrc.d. Is it possible that I'm missing a package? I installed the port 'xterm'. I assumed it would grab everything it needed. I saw no /etc/X11 dir. Best, Mike C --- On Sun, 11/28/10, Keith J. Schultz <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Keith J.
