Does MacPorts depend on Spotlight?

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Seems it'd thrash Spotlight a lot less during "port selfupdate" or "port 
upgrade outdated" to exclude /opt/local, as long as that wouldn't break 
anything (obviously one couldn't then use Spotlight to search /opt/local, but 
that's ok with me).

Same problem with xclock. Where can I find the log file of the xorg-server?

Impossible to say without more data.

Do you have any crash logs in Console ? Any other messages ?

What application are you running ? Try install a simple one like xclock and see 
if that works ?

Have you tired removing then reinstalling the xorg-server port ?

Are you actually using the xorg-server X11 server or do you perhaps have 
another one installed instead ?

Have you logged out and back in again, as required by the xorg-server 
instalation ?

One possible issue is that if you are logging into a machine as a different 
user than the one you are on, X won’t let that user display on your local 
screen.  To overcome that issue, you can issue the command xhost + before you 
try to bring up an X window, but note that this version of xhost allows any 
program to display on your local computer.
