X issues

[Keith J. Schultz]

Hi Stefan,

	What version of the X11 App are you using.
	do you have the latest update installed.

	I have a Powerbook G4, X11 1.1.3, gnome and things
	work for me.

	What does your .xinitrc look like? Are you using the
	quarz-wm in proxy mode? Stereo turned on?


	regards
		Keith.
