    Hum the subject says it all :)

    I want to install X11 (again), for the old X11 is gone (probably had to
    do with the gnome-desktop install i tried). Anyway, I downloaded the
    X11 User for Mac OS X . dmg file, and want to install X11User.pkg. When
    I get the the screen where i can select my HD to install it to, there's
    a little exclamation mark stating: You cannot install X11 for there is
    already a newer version installed!

    What can I do to work around this problem?

    Cheers,

    Johan

    Let me guess...you're running 10.4.x. The X11.dmg you can download from
    Apple is for 10.3. You have to get your installation DVD, mount it, then
    *SCROLL DOWN IN THE WINDOW*. You'll see a .pkg labeled something like
    Additional Software. Click on it, open the Applications triangle, and
    check X11.

    This is very much a FAQ.
