Carlos,
I did essentially what you said but I didn't use -U. I didn't run xfs
either. I ran Xautoconfig which got it almost right. Then, as Dan Burcaw
suggested, I changed the unix/:-1 to unix/:7100.
This works great for me. But it seems that if I changed my bit depth while
in MacOS I have to start again with Xautoconfig. I don't change my bit
depth often so I think I can live with that.
