Possible white rectangle fix
by Richard Tobin 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

In RootlessRepositionWindow() in rootlessWindow.c, change the call to RootlessReorderWindow() so that it only happens if the window is realized: if(pWin->realized) RootlessReorderWindow(pWin); I don't know if this is the right way to do it, but it eliminates the white rectangle problem for me. -- Richard -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

It's not defined in Tiger. You patched xserver à la: #if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= 1050 fprintf(stderr, "bootstrap_look_up(): %s\n", bootstrap_strerror(kr)); #else fprintf(stderr, "bootstrap_look_up(): %ul\n", (unsigned long) kr); #endif > >> I configured xorg-server 1.4.2-apple27 without launchd support. > > xorg-server doesn't use launchd at all... That's all in xinit. The configure script in app/xinit does not know anything of launchd.

Now that Perl stopped working, and Fink relies on Perl, I feel motivated to do so. OTOH, now that my Mac OS X is defective I could also try to remove the faulty Apple update and regain a healthy Mac at once ... -- Greetings Pete A blizzard is when it snows sideways.

Hello Jeremy! I updated X11R7.4. In app/xinit/privileged_startx/client.c still bootstrap_strerror() is used, no case for Tiger prepared. I configured xorg-server 1.4.2-apple27 without launchd support. After installation without any support via sudo it launched out of the X11R6 based Terminal environment with updated ~/.MacOSX/ environment.plist and ~/.xinitrc files. Stopping it did not seem to work, the icon in dock told it had no connection. Console reported: font_cache: Done X11.app: main(): argc=2 argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 argv[1] = -psn_0_79953921 Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.

> http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/other/X11-0.46.4.tar.… I see an obvious difference: the Tiger code sets the window level in RootlessRepositionWindow(), and the new code doesn't. I don't know whether that's significant - is there a window level that means "invisible"? -- Richard -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Brian, can you confirm that the modifier > settings are working as expected with Screen Sharing.app? That's correct, but I don't think it directly contradicts the case you're discussing now -- I was comparing vncviewer under X11.app and ScreenSharing.app as clients of a Linux-hosted vncserver session. It sounds like this latest discussion is about using vncviewer or ScreenSharing.app to drive a different Mac host's X11.app. In my case, vncviewer wasn't _sending_ the modifiers (but ScreenSharing.app was). In Peter's case, it looks like the X11.app on the viewed machine isn't _receiving_ the modifiers correctly from that host's screen sharing service. - Brian

> The check isn't there in Tiger's X11... I don't have the Tiger X11 source. Have you looked at RootlessRepositionWindows which calls RootlessRepositionWindow for each window? Or was something different in Tiger, like WINREC() being null for unmapped windows? -- Richard -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
