I finally got to looking through your install log, and one hunch I had is now disproved (meaning I'm back to having no clue). I changed to using -Os instead of -O2 sometime around 2.3.2_betaXX , but you're seeing this with -O2 as well in your MacPorts install. Chris, what version of xorg-server are you "happy" with in that early 2.3.2 beta you're using? Try editing the MacPorts Portfile to install that version instead of the latest. I forget what the default location is for MacPorts Portfiles... Just 'cd /opt/local/var/ macports/; find . -name xorg-server' and it'll pop up. Assuming that one works, try stepping forward one version and verify that it breaks. Then we'll try narrowing down from there. On Feb 5, 2009, at 14:16, Christof Wolf wrote:

And for those not wanting to click links and read, here's something you should be able to copy/paste:
svn co https://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/trunk/base cd base ./configure && make && sudo make install
Hi Jeremy, I did the link but it stopped because tcl was compiled with no headers :-) so I installed the binary of macports - it went through smoothly, setup my .profile and updated
$MacPorts base version 1.700 installed $Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700
Setup your /etc/profile or whatever to add /opt/local/bin to PATH then... (ok, maybe you can't "copy/paste" this) sudo port -v selfupdate sudo port -v install xorg
that took a long time - if you're curious - I have attached the install log :-)
and I tried X11 in macports - it says 2.3.2 xorg server 1.4.2- apple32 -
the first time the X11 just hung (sample attached) I killed it and restarted it, interestingly the CPU would not go crazy - but I could not activate any of the X11 apps, terminal, kmail, which I had openend, though the "force app window" nor the "activity monitor" showed that X11 was "not responding" I had to kill it. the third time it is back again to the "normal" abnormal behavior - as long I am in X11 its fine - any other time the CPU goes up to 100%.
ciao christof
