Thanks for the tip! I tried this, and got XDarwin running. But now, I am not able to open the DISPLAY when I ssh into a remote system and try to open an X-application from there, even if I explicitly set the DISPLAY variable. However, I am able to open X-apps (eg. xterm) locally on my machine. Wierd ?! Has anyone had a similar experience with XFree86 on Jaguar, or know of a fix? -Kavitha On 10 Sep 2002, Benjamin Reed wrote: > On Tue, 2002-09-10 at 17:00, Kavitha Venkatesan wrote: > > > I just installed Xfree86 on my new Mac OS 10.2 system using the > > pre-compiled binaries for Darwin-ppc-5.x availabe on the xfree86.org ftp > > site.
