If you just want to run matlab from a remote server, you don't need
anything from Fink. Installing X11 and then logging in to the remote
server via "ssh -X" is sufficient. This supposes, of course, that the
remote server is a Unix system with the standard Unix (or Linux) version
of matlab, not a Mac under MacOS nor a PC under whatever they use as an
excuse for an OS.
2)Furthermore, when I type startx in my terminal (the basic tcsh shell
thatcame with my machine) I get an error message that I cannot interpret:
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 /X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
This already means that your X server (more precisely the executable
binary /usr/X11R6/bin/X) is not the one that comes with Apple's X11 nor
a recent one from Fink. You must have installed it via some other method.
If the server blah blah....
The blah blah tells you that this thing which already celebrated its
first birthday some days ago, is way too old.

Failed to connect to the HID System as the window server!
Fatal server error:
Quit the mac OS X window server or use the -quartz option.
Here it tells you that this version of X11, when started via startx,
needs some command line options. It suggests to use the -quartz option,
like so:
startx -- -quartz
