Hello all,
I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a Mac Pro. I've just installed XQuartz
2.2.3 and now X11 refuses to start. I've tried reinstalling and
restarting several times...
Can you guys help me diagnose and resolve the problem.
(Hmmm... looking at the output below I suspect it may be related to
spaces in the name of the drive on which my profile is stored...)
The path to my profile is:
"/Volumes/Second Drive/michael"
Below is the output from a terminal session trying to start X11
manually. It ends with:
Fatal server error:
Unrecognized option: Drive/michael/.serverauth.7546
Full output below:
