Hi, So, first things first.
Have you followed the instructions to log out then in again ? This is required to get xorg-server working. Then, please remove your custom xinitrc etc. and confirm a default configuration works as expected. I usually use something like xclock for this, to check the server auto starts as it should > sudo port install xclock > xclock& Does that work ok ? Chris P.s. in future please do not hijack threads to start a new discussion on a different issue. > On 16 Oct 2019, at 1:04 am, Andrew Hartung via macports-users > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I can not get X11 to work correctly. > > Mac OS 10.14.6 > > Clicking X11.app causes it to loop in a cycle of starting for a few seconds, > quitting and repeat.
