fatal server error. Why?
The reason why is because both X and the CommandShell want complete control over your Mac (display, keyboard and mouse). So, when you try to start one while running the other, you’ll get into trouble. You need to start X either from the Console Emulator Mode or by choosing it as your “session type” from the Login screen (This session type will be available only if your installed Apple’s X).
