I've not had luck with the binaries. It seemed that the binaries from
xfree86.org were missing libraries - thusly I just compiled it myself.
Follow the directions and its easy as can be (though time consuming - about
5-6 hours on my 466Mhz G3).

I've also had problems with XDarwin.app . It starts, yes, but it ignores all
keyboard input, not to mention ignoring the setup I've done while in the
console (and yes, I'm logged in as the same user). Any hints?

P.S. Anybody been able to get xmms to compile on Darwin/XFree?
