The X11 downloadable from Apple is not compatible with the version of Mac OS X loaded on your MacTel machine, thus 2. You must install X11 from the installation disks shipped with your MacBookPro (they are in the black box in the shipping box from Apple.) Put the disk in your machine until the screen comes up to install software. Navigate to the Optional packages item and start it. Select install X11 ONLY. Start up the installation program and let it run through. This should take about 10 or so minutes. Once X11 is installed you should have no further alerts for the non existance of this program. > Time flies like and arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. -- Groucho Marx > Time flies like an arrow.
