xorg-server on Macports (works with Tiger)
by Jeremy Huddleston 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

I've been spending some time these past few weeks updating the x.org ports in Macports as well as pushing patches to get the latest X.org bits building on Tiger. I'm proud to announce that the latest Xquartz code can now be built using macports (even on Tiger!!!). To test this out, just do: port install xorg-server # if you don't get version 1.4.2_apple27_2, resync in a bit and try again then you can run the resulting /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app For now, you will still need your existing X11 installation (there are no xorg font packages in portage yet, so I'm using fonts out of $ {x11prefix}), but I hope to start adding font packages in the near future to eliminate this dependency. Notes / Cavaets: If you're on Tiger, you should disable the pasteboard proxying in X11- >Preferences->Clipboard or xpbproxy and quartz-wm will fight with each other. If you're on Leopard, I recommend you install Xquartz-2.3.2_rc3 or later first in order to get the latest quartz-wm (otherwise, you'll be in the same boat as the Tiger folks with the outdated quartz-wm).

Screen dimensions

Is this a known problem? When I run xrdb I get a floating point exception in Resolution(), which I imagine is related to this output from xdpyinfo: screen #0: print screen: no dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (0x0 millimeters) resolution: -2147483648x-2147483648 dots per inch -- Richard -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

starting xquartz within a java process
by Lorinc Hever 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hello, I'm working on a feasibility to start xquartz from a java process with JNI. My goal would be to keep the X server in the same process as my java application so this way I can manipulate the X windows itself (mainly reparent, resize and show/hide). To able to do the window manipulation I have to keep X and java in the same process. First I compiled xquartz as a shared object and started with server_main, but this crashed my application since the Java AWT already has an NSApplication, then I went lower level and tried with the dix_main which ended up in a segfault what I haven't debugged yet. Could somebody help me what's the right approach to do this? Thanks in advance! Lorinc

Re: [Xquartz-dev] 2.3.2_rc3 resizing rxvt

Jeremy, I just noticed that when one downsizes a rxvt window manually, it will also wipe out several lines of text on the bottom. I have not seen this behavior prior to 2.3.2_rc3. -John On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 1:53 PM, Jeremy Huddleston <jeremyhu(a)apple.com> wrote: > > On Dec 7, 2008, at 08:16, John Koren wrote: > >> Jeremy, >> >> there appears to be a small problem in the resizing of rxvt.

2.3.2_rc3
by Jeremy Huddleston 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

We're very close to release of X11-2.3.2 for Leopard. Here's the latest rc with recent fixes: http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/X11-2.3.2_rc3.dmg == Changes since 2.3.2_rc2 == * Fixed some quartz-wm misbehavior with window maximization * The pointer xinput device is back to reporting the pixel location rather than screen relative 16bit location * Fix Czech & Greek keyboard dead-acute * Setup PATH and PWD for the initial xterm * Added defaults option to enable/disable test extensions * Corrected name/command labels in the customization widget == Known Issues == The only known showstopper at this point is related to stereo GLX (and specifically how pymol uses it). If you have a stereo capable system and you setup pymol to "autodetect stereo capability" but don't check the "use stereo" checkbox in your preferences, you'll experience a display problem. Below is a quote from the pymol developer on how to workaround this problem. > The workaround is one of the following: > > If you're going to flip back and forth from mono to stereo and back on > the fly, then you need to "set stereo_double_pump_mono". This can be > done at launch time with the "-S" option, which also forces PyMOL into > stereo mode at the start. > > # should give stereo from the start: > > ./pymol -S > > # should give working mono inside a stereo context: > > ./pymol -S -d 'stereo off' > > If you're only going to work in mono, then the "-M" command line > option > will prevent allocation of a stereo context. > > ./pymol -M Aside from this pymol/GLX issue, I'd consider this pretty much release- worthy. Please give this a thorough testing, and report any new issues. Thanks, Jeremy

Gkrellm is particularly notorious. It opens a large window with weather data ... or times of sun or moon rise and set. Only another X11 application works as "shield."

quartz-wm zoom button

I think I've fixed the bad behavior with the zoom button when dealing with more than one monitor. I've tested it with a few configurations, but if you use multiple monitors, I'd like to get feedback on whether or not the zoom/maximize button is behaving correctly in case there's a configuration my tests didn't cover. Thanks. curl -LO http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/quartz-wm-20081203.bz2 bunzip2 quartz-wm-20081203.bz2 sudo cp quartz-wm-20081203 /usr/bin/quartz-wm --Jeremy
