[Newbie]Mac OS X.1 Xfree Start Error

[Timothy Wright]

Title: Mac OS X.1 Xfree Start Error

After getting all the files installed under “root” when I execute a startx -- -quartz I receive this keyboard error.  Any help or suggestions are appreciated.


Running in parallel with Mac OS X Quartz window server.

XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Darwin
Display mode: Quartz
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root

Fatal server error:
assert failed on line 454 of darwinKeyboard.c!

   OsVendorFatalError
   AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Thanks in advance.  I am attempting to install the Open Office package, but cannot until XFree86 is running.
