Hey there,
I am trying to get XFree86 / XDarwin up and running on my ibook (OS 10.1)
so far, i've tried installing XFree86 both from binaries using the installer script, and from compiling the sourcecode directly. then i download and install XDarwin1.0a3. no matter what i do, i get the following error message in the console and XDarwin will not run.
This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
way. Bugs may be reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and patches submitted
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions,
please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository
(http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs)
XFree86 Version 4.1.99.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: xx September 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
Using keymapping provided in /System/Library/Keyboards/USA.keymapping.
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell.
Path: Undefined variable.
xinit: Command not found.
2001-10-29 11:18:00.742 XDarwin[536] X client process terminated with status 1.
Display mode: Full screen Quartz
Screen 0 added: 1024x768 @ (0,0)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/, removing from list!
2001-10-29 11:18:05.746 XDarwin[536] X server thread never quit.
I don't understand the first two errors.
1. i don't seem to have a file named /tmp/.X11-unix, nor do i know how to change the owner
2. how do i get access to tty
as for the missing font path elements, i had even more missing when i compiled the source code (this error message appeared when i installed from binaries). but I can fix this problem by copying the Speedo and Type1 directories from a colleague that performed these downloads a few weeks ago
thanks for the help!
