Hi Jeremy,
I can confirm that quartz-wm is required to be installed for X11 to work on ML. Thanks!
As a note, it would be nice if xinit used the notes command to display the startup launch script command. Currently it is only displayed at the activate phase.
Cheers!
Frank

My guess now is that you don't actually have a custom ~/.xinitrc.d script for twm, but instead teh default xinitrc is trying twm because it can't find a quartz-wm. Please install the quartz-wm port, and I think it should work. I'll update the dependencies.

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:
