X11 didn't come with my macbook. I don't have the installation CDs with me. But I need X11 right now to remote access my workstation. I tried downloading X11 from Apple but I was unable to install because it says I have newer software installed on my computer. I can't find X11 installed on my computer. I did some reading online and it says that X11 isn't natively installed.

What can i do?

Thanks.

I think the only way to get X11 on Tiger is by using the Installation CD.

X11 is an optional install off of the Tiger DVD

Why not just use the Terminal if you want to remotely access your workstation? Or a VPN client?
