I believe we are at xorg is broken, xfree86 was recently updated to  
version 4.6 so at least someone must believe it works, and I myself  
have always used Apple's X11 and never had any reason to try anything  
else. Simply make sure you have both X11User.pkg (from Mac OS X  
installation media) and X11SDK.pkg (from Xcode disk image) installed.  
(Check /Library/Receipts to see if you're missing either of those.)
