I've install XWindows X11 4.2.0, install XFree86_4.2.0.1-10.2 and XFree86_4.2.1.1. I try to open XDarwin, the X mouse apper and after of 15 secondsm it desapear, the only way I find to start it is to log as root user but I want to use it on my user.
 
This site has a download file that provides what amounts to an OS inside of OS X, Xfree86 is useless (for the most part) w/o a Window Manager etc.. these are all provided by the file. However the file is quite large.. about 650MB, well worth the time if you know what you are doing though...

The file is also available from Mac's site, but they don't have links to faster mirrors, so the download is alot slower...
 
UtaTr3y, your link takes me to a site which proudly proclaims "Welcome! This domain name was registered through Namesecure." I suggest you rethink your advertising strategy.

You might want to download OroborosX (http://oroborosx.sourceforge.net/), which is a combination X11 server and Aqua-like window manager.

Oroborosx work, but I want to install my own Windows Manager like AfterStep.

If OroborOSX works, then XDarwin should also work. Are you sure you opened the right (latest) version of the XDarwin app? It looks to me like you installed too many versions (you only needed XFree86 4.2.1.1) and somehow got part of your setup confused.
 
I found the ploblem, I've just instal XFree and he don't have give autorisation to execute the file "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc", I've correct it and it run.

Thanks for your help!
 
I just downloaded Fink, followed the link to the Jaguar instructions from the download page and X11 worked fine as a normal user. :) You can install whatever window manager you want.

I've corrected the problem and I don't like fink, I try it on X 10.1.5 and it don't work, he don't detect what I have alredy installed (Ex.: X11 manually installed). I don't want to re-download X11, I've only a 56K modem and I need about 2 hours (can be 3 hours) to download X11.
