#43000: Macports install fails to launch X11 -----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: agtebo@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: Port: xorg-server, demeter | -----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by jeremyhu@…):
installing xorg-server is automatically setting $DISPLAY to their server, even when I disable their LaunchAgent as per the FAQ
What do you mean "installing xorg-server is automatically setting $DISPLAY to their server" ... that is not true. What do you mean "their LaunchAgent as per the FAQ"? I maintain XQuartz, xorg in MacPorts, and the XQuartz DDX for X.org, and I'm pretty certain that we (X.org) don't have a FAQ for XQuartz. There is no X.org FAQ which talks about LaunchAgents that I am aware of.
is have my $DISPLAY to be the Macports version of X11 since the other important piece of software I'm using is on Macports
Then follow the instructions printed by the xinit port for how to do that and disable the other LaunchAgents. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43000#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
