Thank you for the explanation that helps a lot. I have two more questions. First, would you recommend that I uninstall what I have (I am sure it came off of the 10.4 DVD) and install X.org’s 7.2? Second, is Fink similar to Macports?

If you upgraded OSX from 10.4 to 10.5, the 10.4 X11 package (XFree86) was replaced with 10.5's (X.Org). You should not have any leftovers on your system outside of /PreviousSystems

If you are still on 10.4, there is a guide to installing the new X on 10.4 (albeit slightly out of date) on the wiki (http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin). If you're feeling brave, you can certainly go through those steps to install the new X on 10.4. It would be nice if you could update the wiki as you go to correct any mistakes or just comment on the process here, so someone else can update it.
