multi-monitor support
by Mitch Haile 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

I looked in Trac and at the changelog for 2.1.1 release, but didn't see anything about fixing multiple monitor support. Haven't seen this mentioned on this mailing list (maybe on x11-user though). Is anyone looking into this? I would be happy to look into it if no one else is. I really need working multi-monitor support. :-) -- Mitch Haile 408-850-0129 (office) 877-570-0822 (fax)

Ben, I gave you executable a try (it crashed by the way when I tried the second account): Here is what appears in the Console Messages: ***This is where I started up X11 in the first account (which is an admin user) by starting something from Terminal (in this case it was nedit, but oclock works as well). 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] checking display 0 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] display_exists_p(0) 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] server_name = 12612 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] TransformProcessType: Success 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] TransformProcessType: Success 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] Launchd command line argument noticed. 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] X11.app starting: 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] X.org Release 7.2 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] X.Org Xquartz X Server 1.3.0-apple5 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] Build Date: 20071210 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] Xquartz: run by launchd for fd 0 12/21/07 7:00:02 AM org.x.X11[723] _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created. ***This is where I fast-user switched to the second account (which is a normal user) 12/21/07 7:00:32 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.UserEventAgent- LoginWindow[734]) Exited: Terminated ***Attempt to start oclock from Terminal.app from the second account 12/21/07 7:00:45 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:00:45 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:00:45 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:00:56 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:00:56 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:00:56 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:01:06 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:01:06 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:01:06 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:01:16 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:01:16 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:01:16 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:01:26 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:01:26 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:01:26 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:01:36 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:01:36 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:01:36 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:01:46 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:01:46 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:01:46 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:01:57 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:01:57 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:01:57 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:02:07 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:02:07 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:02:07 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:02:17 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:02:17 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:02:17 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:02:27 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:02:27 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:02:27 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:02:37 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:02:37 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:02:37 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 12/21/07 7:02:47 AM org.x.X11[723] AUDIT: Fri Dec 21 07:02:47 2007: 724 X11: client 5 rejected from local host (uid 503) 12/21/07 7:02:47 AM org.x.X11[723] Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 ***This is where I logged out of the second account to stop the launchd infinite loop of trying to continuously start X11 and fail. 12/21/07 7:03:02 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.UserEventAgent- LoginWindow[819]) Exited: Terminated Here is the crash report dump from the attempt to start X11 (by launching oclock from Terminal): Process: X11 [778] Path: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 Identifier: X11 Version: ???

X11.app detection - hints
by Jeremy Huddleston 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Is there a way we can provide "hints" to the X11.app detection (in xinit.c)? Right now, mine is getting set to ~/src/freedesktop/dist/ Applications/Utilities/X11.app ... it seems like there should be a way to tell LSFindApplicationForInfo how to disambiguate between two matches... I looked at the documentation for LSFindApplicationForInfo and didn't find anything useful: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/LaunchServicesRef… /apple_ref/c/func/LSFindApplicationForInfo --Jeremy

little time away
by Jeremy Huddleston 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi everyone, I just wanted to send a note in case you've noticed a decrease in my visibility and response lately. I subluxated a rib a few days ago which is a fancy way of saying my rib isn't where it's supposed to be, and the muscle around it isn't too happy about that. It feels like someone's stabbing me in the back with a knife, and breathing and moving causes the knife to twist. As such, that is why I haven't had much energy to devote these past couple days and will probably be taking it easy for the next couple weeks. If my email responses seem short, curt, or rude, I apologize in advance. They are not intended as such. It is just not as easy to type when being stabbed in the back. Do not take this lull in activity as a sign of decreased interest or abandonment. I'll be back to do more damage soon, and in the mean time, I'm sure Ben has a few tricks up his sleeves too =) --Jeremy

Autolaunched X11 doesn't work with fast-user-switching
by Merle Reinhart 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

I've been doing a bit more testing with X11-2.1.1 and find that the autolaunching stuff doesn't work if one user already has the Xserver started. At that point, any other user logging in via fast-user switching is not able to then use X11 (attempting to set DISPLAY to : 1.0 and manually start X11.app winds up in an infinite loop with Xquartz still trying to talk to the server at :0.0 which is owned by the other user). At this point in time, I have not been about to find a workaround that would allow more than one user to utilize X11.app at the same time. Could this be because launchd is explicitly hard-coded to look at the : 0 socket when the socket should increase based upon the number of logged in users? This is potentially a problem with multi-user systems where X11 may be needed. Merle

debugging flags?
by Ben Byer 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

I'd like to add a debugging flag that would choose between ignoring the "null pointer" errors (and letting them fall through to the rest of the code) for debugging purposes and trapping / reporting them (as is the default behavior). Right now, we have a couple different possible ways of turning on and off debug stuff -- creating dummy files is what i've done, but it's ugly. We could also set environment keys, or prefs plist keys. This would *not* be something most people would ever need to touch. Any thoughts? -- Ben Byer CoreOS / BSD Technology Group, XDarwin maintainer

X11-2.1.1-pre1.pkg
by Jeremy Huddleston 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I have put together a new package. Would people please test it out and give feedback on it. NOTE: This release requires you to restart your computer since it updates the launchd plist. I'm sure there's some way to have launchd reload without restarting, but everything I've tried just ends up with it broken, so restarting seems to be over-kill, but works. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Don't move /A/U/X11.app if you want launchd to work. If you do move it, make sure you edit /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ org.x.X11.plist Here it is: http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/x11-apple/X11-2.1.1-pre1.pkg Changes in 2.1.1 * All changes in 2.1.0.1 plus: * Updated versions of packages: o xterm-229 + Replace antiquated version (207) with new version from upstream source. + Better UTF8 support among other bugfixes o xinit git 20071210 + Added package. o x11proto git 20071210 + Changed references of __DARWIN__ to __APPLE__ * fc-cache is run during post-install * Xquartz fixes from xorg-server-1.2-apple (Up to Xquartz-1.3.0- apple5) o Crash and stability fixes o Fixed startup to check preferences set in org.x.X11 instead of com.apple.X11 o Multiple dock-icons bug fixed o XDMCP now works o Fixed Alt to work right with ~/.Xmodmap o Added workaround to support Fink until they update their packages o Small updates to Xquartz.man page (still needs a good edit, if you can help, please contact the xquartz-dev mailing list)

Changed references of __DARWIN__ to __APPLE__
by Peter O'Gorman 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi Jeremy, Were there places that __DARWIN__ was not being defined but was used? I thought CPPFLAGS had -D__DARWIN__ in configure.ac? Just curious, Peter -- Peter O'Gorman http://pogma.com

Re: Xquartz-dev Digest, Vol 2, Issue 39
by Barto, David 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I've opened bug 5643183 because of a crash using the 2.1.1 pre 1 Xquartz. All was running fine until I had an Xterm that was running through an ssh connection with LOTS of output and then tried to close a tab on an nedit window. As a side note, I've noticed that when my Xterms on the ssh connection have lots of data passing through them to display, X tends to become less stable. This is the first crash I've had with this since installing the 2.1.1 pre 1 build however. David
