First, the X symbol for X11 is there on the dock, and when I try to open, it just bounces, and nothing else. You're right, X11 stopped working, as well as OO, after updating X11. I reinstalled the system fro the installation disc. But I don't see X11User.pkg on the installation disk under packages or utilities or else but I can see it thow on my hard disk.

Second, when I try to enter my password, I can't even write a single letter. Nothing happen, it is like a freeze, except that I make returns or enters.
Thanks

Help!
I also have problem with OO since I update X11. OO does not work
anymore. It first half opened, but no more now.
I followed the procedure described at porting.openoffice.org  to
correct my problem but at step 4 I can't enter my password (nothing
happens, even if I make enter, it asks for my password again).  I
properly registered as an administrator.
In addition,   I can't anymore  open X11.
I have an Intel Mac, with 10.4.8. I reinstalled the system from the
installation disc (10.4.4), but that did nothing. I noticed that there
is no X11user.pkg in system installation/packages.
What's wrong?
Laurent:

I will guess that X11 was not working before you did the re-install of
Mac OS X.

Now you will have to re-install X11 from the installation disk as the
re-install did not install it and it should NOT have done so. X11 is an
optional package, even upon a re-installation of the operating system.

When prompted for updates, DO NOT INSTALL THE X11 UPDATE.  This update
has corrupted font files for the Vera style fonts and they are loaded
when the OpenOffice.org program is started.  It is simplier not to
install the update than to do the workaround at the OpenOffice.org Mac
OS X porting news site.

Also, when you attempt to use the sudo program and you enter your
password and it does not work (it should be the same password as the
current logged in user) either you forgot the password, did not enter it
correctly or your system has become corrupted for some unknown reason
(if you require a login to access your system you should not be at this
step.)  My guess is that something happened with the user password.

Please review this mailing list for updates to the X11 program from
Apple, as we will announce when a fix is available, tested and will not
'break' OpenOffice.org.
