Hello,

XFree86 (from fink) does not run on Mac OS X when I'm running it inside Linux.
Yesterday, I installed the X11 version from Apple and it has the same
problem.  Note that both runs well when I'm running Mac OS X "normally"
(i.e. not with mol).

I do not get any error message with X11 from Apple.  With XFree86 (from
fink) I get an error message (see end of this email).

Anyone has any success running X on X on X?

Thanks in advance,
David
