Quartz option not installed...
Authored by: robg on Nov 20, '01 05:20:55PM

I've only seen this error ...

"Fatal server error:
Failed to connect as window server!
Quit the Mac OS X window server or use the -quartz option."

... when the "Quartz" option package wasn't downloaded or (for some reason) installed with XFree86. One thing I learned after I wrote the guide: make sure you have the XFree86 installer package inside a path with no spaces in the directory names - the "install.sh" script chokes over spaces...
