X11 Problems :(

cnuco2007

I was using X11 earlier w/out a problem, however i changed something, i set it upto start XTERM w/ the "-ls" command. it was working fine but now after turning my laptop back on, X11 won't work. When i click the app to open it, this is what the consol reads:

Any idea what this means? Could it be that one change i made? I'm gonna try reinstalling...

I see nothing in that output to suggest that X11 is crashing. That output is typical.



Maybe delete your X11 prefs, wherever they are in your home directory. .Xorg? .X11?

well after reinstalling X11 and doing the "-ls" thing for the XTERM it works now. I guess it just went stupid. lol Whatever, it works. thx

I'm having the same problem. You mean I have to reinstall it?

I found this on macosxhints.com:

But, everytime I try to run a command (I am as root), it says command not found.

Yea, if you just throw in the OS X CD and reinstall X11 on off it, it should work again.

Thanks. 8)



Now, where on the Tiger disc is the X11 installer? Is it in a certain folder?

cnuco2007

i think there was an installer thing that lets you install the extra stuff on the disk. when you put in the disk, and it pops up the screen w/ the contents, just scroll down and find the isntaller for the "extras" or whatever it calls it. If you can't find it let me know and i'll pull out my disk and look on it for the exact disk. I'm assuming your using Tiger though... if your using panther you have to get it on apples website. just search for X11 on their downloads section.

Thanks. Now, I need to find my Tiger disc.
