After many hours, after installing another Perl 5.8.8 that is already  
installed via Active-Perl, the software was built. I added xterm 2.37.

Without a ~/.xserverrc file (X :0 -dpi 96) Console displays:

	X11.app: main(): argc=2
		argv[0] = /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11

No key pressed! I have my own .xmodmaprc file:

	clear Mod1
	keycode 66 = Meta_L
	add Mod1 = Meta_L

With my ~/.xserverrc file this is displayed:

The crashing xterm is from MacPorts (crash logs available upon  
request, some sent to Apple). The original one form /usr/X11R6/bin  
works. With my German keyboard layout the alt/Option key does not  
seem to work. []|\{}~ do not exist. Instead Console shows for some keys:

	DarwinPressModifierKey bad keycode: key=7
	DarwinPressModifierKey bad keycode: key=7

When I remove my .xmodmaprc file it's better. MacPorts also installed  
a faulty ~/.tcshrc file. The new X server produces sounds, trying to  
signal I made an error. In GNU Emacs 23.0.60 the shell does not work  
correctly: after a RETurn the cursor is not placed right of prompt  
but is left at the left end or beginning of the line, i.e., "before"  
the cursor.
