Hello,

You can find binaries on Felix Kronlage's page :
http://www.opendarwin.org/~fkr/
I think you are using a Mac, if so, the right package is this one :
http://lamancha.opendarwin.org/~fkr/xorg-6.8.1/X11-ppc.tar.gz

Unpack it in the root of your OpenDarwin partition.
you may have to modify your path.
Then, try to run startx
If the X server doesn't work, try to run xclock, it may print a message  
sayong that  some librairies are missing so copy them from a partition  
where both MacOSX and Apple's X11 are installed, and try to run  
startx...
do the same again till it print some thong like : "cannot open display".
Then reboot and try to run startx, if nothng is done then try running X.
Normally, you will have a grey background and an xterm, without any  
window manager. so run twm & and a very limited window manager will  
appear. you can try some X programs.

All my test to install others Windows manager such as enligntment,  
afterstep or kde have failed, so if you ever sucess on installing  
these, please email me !

Cheers

Edouard
