After doing a

sudo port -v upgrade outdated

and a subsequent

sudo port -v uninstall inactive

I now get the following messages over and over in my system.log:

Oct 13 15:50:55 local-admins-macbook-pro com.apple.launchd[200]

I then tried:

sudo port uninstall xorg-server
sudo port uninstall xinit
port clean --all xorg-server
port clean --all xinit
sudo port -v install xorg-server

but this didn't help the cause.

My X11.app is in /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app (which I can start by  
double clicking - but the log messages still keep coming then) and  
there was an older version lingering around in /Applications/ 
Utilities which I deleted manually.


What can I do now?


thanks,

	Lars
