Macports xorg-server as default X11

[Frank Schima]

Hi all,


On a fresh system:
Mac OS X 10.7.4
Xcode 4.3.2
Macports 2.1.0

I installed Macports and installed xorg-server-devel and rebooted.

$ port installed xorg-server* xinit
The following ports are currently installed:
xinit @1.3.2_3 (active)
xorg-server-devel @1.12.99.0_2 (active)

When I run a simple X11 program like xeyes, the default Mac OS X X11 (version 1.10.6) with the old icon runs instead of the Macports one. I thought the xinit port was supposed to just work? Jeremy, Cc'ed, do you have any ideas?


Thanks!
Frank

You probably missed the postactivate message from xinit. I suggest you 'sudo port -f deactivate xinit && sudo port activate xinit' to get the appropriate message for your configuration.

Hi Jeremy,


Thanks, that worked! Yes, I did miss it and I even looked for notes on the port.


Cheers!
