darwinKeyboard.c Error
Authored by: Anonymous on Oct 04, '01 05:44:14PM

I have a freshly installed copy of xfree86 installed by fink. I have tried this with the path in my .cshrc file and without it but get the same error. Any help? I have 10.1 on a dual Quicksilver G4 and a standard Apple keyboard.

Fatal server error:
assert failed on line 454 of darwinKeyboard.c!

I found the solution at:

You have to change a xDarwin preference to make it work.

XFree86 paths via Fink
Authored by: serversurfer on Oct 04, '01 07:13:23PM
If you are using Fink, instead of adding the X11-path stuff to your .cshrc, add the lines:

##
# Link to Fink
##
source /.sw/bin/init.csh


If you are using bash, you should add the following to your .profile, instead:

##
# Link to Fink
##
source /.sw/bin/init.sh


These scripts add the PATH, MANPATH, and other components necessary to use all your finked software, including XFree86.

I installed my copy of Fink in '/.sw' instead of the default '/sw' (so that the directory does not appear in the Finder). So just make sure you have the right path in YOUR call to 'init.csh'
