It's easy.

1.	sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6
2.	sudo rm -rf /etc/X11
3.	trash /Applications/XDarwin

This brute force solution is also explained in the Fink web page.

You can't use "startx" to launch Apple's X11.

Cheers,
Kow

How exactly would I go about uninstalling the xfree86 that's installed by Fink?

I tried doing the dpkg command in fink like the website told me, but that didn't work and said that none of them were installed.

I know XDarwin is installed somewhere though, because if I type "startx" into the terminal, it proceeds to launch XDarwin with XDarwin's default window manager.

Any help would be appreciated.
