Not sure if that could explain your symptoms. That's a good idea...I'll do that as soon as I'm finished editing this message and paste it into Mac Mail to send (I hate that kind of "editor" and am constantly hitting ESC....). I've been using vi (now vim/gvim), however, since...ummm...1981 or 1982. You might say my hands are used to it to extremes, and simply don't know what to do in other editors). :-) Hopefully uninstalling//reinstalling XQuartz will fix both issues, or at least, the DISPLAY and "can't open display" issue...that's the biggest PITA right now, as it's directly interfering with my usage of some X11 apps that I use daily, both for fun and for my online//offline home business (making and selling handmade jewelry, just FWIW) that keeps my budget from drowning in the never-ending post-cancer medical bills and expensive prescriptions I have to be on for the rest of my life, and hopefully will one day get me off of disability by no longer needing it. Thanks, will be uninstalling//reinstalling in a minute. --jim -- THE SCORE: ME: 2 CANCER: 0 73 DE N5IAL (/4) | DMR: So fsck was originally called [email protected] | something else. < Running Mac OS X Lion > | Q: What was it called?
