I have broken my X11 installation.

I was doing this: http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2007/Nov/msg00005.html and I am not entirely sure what went wrong, but something has and now I have no X11.

How can I remove all traces (of both Leopard and the Tiger X11) and reinstall the Leopard one?

I have now got X11 to run from /usr/X11/X11.app (removed using the commands here: http://aaroniba.net/articles/x11-leopard.html and reinstalled from Leopard disk) but the X11.app (launcher) in / Applications/Utilities/ won't actually load up xterm and hence X11. I think this might be something to do with the X11 Launch Agent, but I have no idea how to fix it.


What command would I need to run to set the launch agent back to its original settings?

Any other ideas?

Am I anywhere near right?

We should be able to fix this, but I need a bit more information.

If you want to start poking around in Terminal, I'd be interested in seeing the output of these commands:

$ ls -l /usr /usr/X11 /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.X11.plist

(we want to see that all of the files look like they're in the right place)

$ echo $DISPLAY

(we need to make sure your DISPLAY variable is being correctly set by launchd; it should be something like "/tmp/launch-xxxxx/:0")

If all of that works, just try running "xterm &" from Terminal.

You also might try running "/usr/X11/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 &" from Terminal; that should manually start up the X server.
