Hi All,
I'm running 10.6.4 on a Macbook Pro Core Duo 2 2.16GHz (late 2006).
I get the following syslog messages when I attempt to launch either Apple X11.app 2.3.5 and XQuartz 2.5.3 from the desktop:
Sep 10 22:42:44 Ball-of-Confusion org.x.privileged_startx[22051]: font_cache: Updating FC cache

(rinse and repeat ad inifinitum)
X11 and X11.bin appear in the list of running processes, but no applications requiring X11 will launch if clicked.
After reading through the forum at some length, it looks like several users have had similar issues, but I couldn't figure out how to use Jeremy's advice to fix the problem in my case. Apologies in advance if I'm being dense.
Michael
