Hi Jeremy,


Thanks for the response. I don't see any crash reports even though X11 appears and disappears in the Dock. Here's some output:

$ sudo launchctl list org.macports.privileged_startx
{
	"Label" = "org.macports.privileged_startx";
	"LimitLoadToSessionType" = "System";
	"OnDemand" = true;
	"LastExitStatus" = 0;
	"TimeOut" = 120;
	"ProgramArguments" = (
		"/opt/local/lib/X11/xinit/privileged_startx";
		"-d";
		"/opt/local/lib/X11/xinit/privileged_startx.d";
	);
	"EnableTransactions" = true;
	"MachServices" = {
		"org.macports.privileged_startx" = mach-port-object;
	};
};

But now X11 will crash on launch and continually try to relaunch but it never actually launches without crashing. I tried uninstalling xinit and xorg-server and reinstalling them. I re-ran:
