help with installing xorg-server from MacPorts and installing Inkscape

[yiming roberts-lo]

Okay, I ran sudo port install xorg-server in a terminal. Now it's telling
me:

    To use MacPorts' X11 as the default server, install xorg-server, log
out,

    and log back in.



I'm assuming I should setup X11 as the default server?


Thanks!
