See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/63990 


rev bumping the xinit port fixed things, at least for me. Please if you are 
having trouble with the X11 server see if that update helps...

On macOS, crash logs are located in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports.

[Tom]

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 ?

I would suggest filing a ticket on trac.macports.org with a crash report 
attached (if you have one; open Applications > Utilities > Console and check in 
"Crash Reports").

macOS 11.5 is no longer in beta, but be aware of

My .xinitrc only (now) has 

xclock&

xclock from the command line starts the launch, quit, relaunch loop again.

same with clicking X11.app.

Re: Xorg-server problems

[Chris Jones]

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.
