Just to follow up to myself, by "we" I mean Apple. I'm not clear on what MacPorts wants to do just yet given that the xorg port doesn't have a maintainer. Maybe I can convince the guy maintaining Apple's X11 to also maintain MacPorts' x11, but I make no promises. :-) - Jordan On Apr 18, 2007, at 1:07 PM, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote:

There are several versions of X11 for OSX -- the one Apple distributes, and in macports, xfree86 and xorg, both in several variants. Could someone give us a summary of the state of X11 on OSX? What should be used when? Where are we headed?
We're headed to X.org, though we're not quite there yet. Apple has been steadily upstreaming its fixes back to X.org and got quite a bit of stuff into X11R7.2, but not enough to make it a total drop-in replacement for XFree86 yet. That's definitely the goal for X11R7.3 and, of course, what ships with Leopard.
