No, this list is pretty dead. I Was shocked when I looked at the |
| 32 |
archives how little traffic there had been. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I got past my problems without really needing X. My Mac Mini is now |
| 35 |
acting as a headless backend MythTV server. I don't need or even want |
| 36 |
X on that machine. When I posted my question I was in the process of |
| 37 |
debug and could have used it then but it wasn't to be. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
None the less it would be good to figure out what's wrong with X on |
| 40 |
the Mac Mini and get it working for your needs. |
