Sounds like you might have a non-functioning .xinitrc file in your home
directory. Open Apple's Terminal and do
cat .xinitrc
If there is "no such file or directory" try
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
then quit and relaunch X11.app.
If there *is* such a file, it may be lacking a line such as
exec quartz-wm
at the end.

Hello,
I am having trouble with the X11 applicaton.
Platform: 12" 1.33 G4 powerbook, OS X 10.3, latest upgrades.
I installed X11 and X11_SDK. These installs appeared to succeed.
The X11 application appears in /Applications/Utilities/X11 , as
expected.
Clicking the X11 icon starts the program. The X11 menu bar appears,
again as expected. And, encouragingly, the 'fat X' cursor replaces
the arrow cursor. I also ran Gary Kerbaugh's pkgdiff script, as
suggeted at
http://www.chemistry.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/page1.html
Inspection of the output indicates that all is in order.
However --
When I select 'Terminal' from the X menu bar, nothing happens.
I don't get an X term window.
If I set the X preferences to rootless 'full screen' mode, and
activate with
'Command Option A', I get a non-responsive static screen. ('Command
Option
A' restores the native desktop.)
I have tried playing arround arround witht the display settings, thing
the
problem might lie in incompatable resoluton or # ot color settings,
but this
hasn't helped.
Can you help?
Cheers!
Wayne
