Hello everyone, English is not my mother tongue so may not be exactly correct, sorry about that. Background: I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5. I did a clean installation and now Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with iLife, iWork, and many many apps. I am the only one who will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'. I previously had a problem concerning X11 too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343732 What I've done: (1) rename my HD to 'Michaels_Home' under 'Get Info' from Finder (I can't rename in Disk Utility though) (2) press return (enter) (3) change my home folder path to the '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.html) (4) restart (5) log in and open X11 (6) problem solved!! ========== *BUT NOW* I have a problem after: (1) log in as the _root_ user, and use command +ditto -V xyz xyz+ to copy my home folder from '/Volumes/Michaels_Home/Users/Michael' to '/Users>Michael' (2) change my home folder path to the '/Users/Michael' (http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/Framework.cfm?page=Tips/relocate3/relocate3.html) (3) use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard USD$29 disc to boot my Mac up (4) delete the 'Michaels_Home' partition (I had 3 partitions: (1) Macintosh HD (2) Michaels_Home (3) Windows XP Professional) (5) resize the 'Macintosh HD' partition (6) boot from Macintosh HD (7) find that there's a problem about X11 The problem: it takes a *long time* for X11 to start. When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens. Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock. What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment. I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'. So, I open the Activity Monitor, and I can see there are 3 apps related to X11 are running: (1) X11 (2) X11.bin (3) xauth *At the moment now, if you would wait for about 1.5 min., X11 will open.* Please see below for the system log (from 'FREEZING' to 'WORKING') ========== Mar 1 00:42:10 n219073058253 [0x0-0x22022].org.x.X11[327]: X11.app: main(): argc=2 Mar 1 00:42:10 n219073058253 [0x0-0x22022].org.x.X11[327]: argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin Mar 1 00:42:10 n219073058253 [0x0-0x22022].org.x.X11[327]: argv[1] = -psn_0_139298 Mar 1 00:42:10 n219073058253 [0x0-0x22022].org.x.X11[327]: Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.
