No, that is incorrect. If you click on the X11 icon, bring up an xterm window within X11 and then type startx, you will get this error. This is because you are trying to start X11 from within X11. X11 is already started and so there is no need to do this. Once you have clicked on the X11 icon, X11 is started and all you need to do from there is run your X apps.

The following errors strongly suggest that you're running BOTH XDarwin and X11. More specifically, I tried to start XDarwin when X11, or some other X server was running. What did you want to do?

Cheers,

Hi I am new to this list and hopefuly have a simple question. When I start
X11 and type in the line startx I get an error like this:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.

   OsVendorFatalError
   AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...

What Do I need to do to get to the X windows GUI?
 TIA
