If you've managed to get InnoDB working with MySQL under X, I'd very much like to talk to you. I've created a my.cnf file in /usr/local/mysql/data/ with the following:

# mysqld configuration file for InnoDB tables
[mysqld]
innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:50M;ibdata2:50M
innodb_data_home_dir=/usr/local/mysql/data


and that looks correct to me but either it isn't or MySQL is ignoring the file completely or I've missed a step in getting InnoDB installed properly. I'm stumped so if you've got any ideas, I'd really like to hear them. Discuss
