Comment (by sean@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 jeremyhu@…]:
 > Enable the MacPorts LaunchAgent and disable the OS X one.  Instructions
 are printed during activation of xinit, so you can just read it out of the
 Portfile.

 There's got to be a better way than this. I've run into this at least two
 or three times before and googling is difficult due to the common
 keywords. The instructions that are printed for xinit fly by the screen
 too fast and it's easily forgotten … especially when most instructions
 talk about the xorg-server port.

 Could these instructions also be added to xorg-server? Or, at the very
 least, the FAQ / Xquartz / whatever sites be updated to have (in large,
 blinking, red letters) "launchctl load -w
 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.startx.plist"?

 By the way, I've experienced this when upgrading to Mountain Lion (and
 needing a way to get X working) so it's not like this is a really old
 problem.
