X11 2.2.0_rc1
by Jeremy Huddleston 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

I've put together a release candidate pkg of 2.2.0. Look at the ChangeLog on the site for more details about specifics. Here are a few highlights: X11 Preferences: Disabled fullscreen and 256 color since they're not working Added 'Windows' tab which toggles quartz-wm options without need to restart Added new 'focus on new window' preference for X11 which chooses whether or not to claim focus when a new window is created. Versions of apps/libs/etc bumpled to X11R7.4 versions as of a few weeks ago glut, cairo, and ttmkfdir added lockup in libGL commonly seen in darwine fixed exposé bug fixed This is a *FULL* release, not just an update. You can install this if you have no existing X11 on your system (and installing it over an existing X11 works fine too). It includes everything that would be in X11User and X11SDK. I highly recommend installing this first if you want to help develop since it will install all the current protocol headers. I am going on vacation for a week starting on Tuesday. I'll still be handling email and maybe minor issues, but don't want X11 to consume my trip, so I apologize in advance if my mailing list response time is a bit low for the next week or so. Please test it out and send me feedback (backup your /usr/X11 first). I'm hoping to release this some time in the first week of April after I've had time to look into a few crashes that have been reported to see if I can get fixes for those as well. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11-2.2.0_rc1.pkg --Jeremy

Google Summer of Code 2008 query
by David Shao 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

If I understand correctly, the current plan is maybe to write a "DRI driver using OpenGL.framework", but have enough decisions been made to even formulate some sort of proposal for Google Summer of Code 2008? Sorry for the relatively late inquiry.

AC_PATH_X does not work without xmkmf
by Peter O'Gorman 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

[cross-posting, if emails from mailman about awaiting moderator approval bother you, feel free to drop xquartz-dev] Hi, Martin Costabel reported on Apple's xquartz-dev mailing list that AC_PATH_X fails to work on the latest release candidate of X11 for Mac OS X because the latest release candidate no longer includes imake or xmkmf. http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/xquartz-dev/2008-March/000455.html X11 lives in /usr/X11, with a symlink /usr/include/X11 -> ../X11/include/X11. When X11 is not found with imake/xmkmf it searches for x includes and libraries, but the library search list looks for libX11.a (static archive, AIX), libX11.sl (HP-UX) and libX11.so (many others). Mac OS X has libX11.dylib and libX11.la in /usr/X11/lib, but none of the others. I guess the easiest solution is to add dylib and la to the list of extensions to search (maybe add dll too?), this will make the test take longer, of course. There is also the possibility that autoconf use pkgconfig to check for the X11 .pc files. We are hoping to persuade Jeremy to add xmkmf and imake back before the next release as a workaround, but this is really an autoconf problem. Thanks, Peter -- Peter O'Gorman http://pogma.com

I presume it happened because the X server was built on simple (old standard) HFS+: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8432. Because in this file system the files "name" and "Name" cannot exist both, a lot of X clients are installed in app-defaults. -- Greetings ~ O Pete ~~_\\_/% ~ O o

Could you throw it in both 1.4 stable and the devel branch? And feel free to put my name on it.

Building Xquartz git snapshot(how to?)
by Michał Majchrowicz 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Hi. I would like to test the version of Xquartz that is in repository to perform tests and (hopefully) help improve it by finding bugs. The problem is that I don't want to install some headers/libfiles somewhere where I will not be able to find them later :) I would like to know how can I create the dpk file similar to the ones published on projects site. If someone could explain the process in few simle steps I would be grateful. Regards Michal

Hi, running glxinfo with the latest version (2.1.2), it turns out that glx is at version 1.2, that GLX_ARB_multisample is available on the both of the server and the client side but that multi-sampling is actuall off: Visual ID: 27 depth=24 class=TrueColor bufferSize=32 level=0 renderType=rgba doubleBuffer=0 stereo=0 rgba: redSize=8 greenSize=8 blueSize=8 alphaSize=8 auxBuffers=0 depthSize=16 stencilSize=8 accum: redSize=16 greenSize=16 blueSize=16 alphaSize=16 multiSample=0 multiSampleBuffers=0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ visualCaveat=None I've got a Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300 GT and multisampling is available if I program with the native Apple API's. Thanks for any information, Luc Bourhis

You're missing at least one thing, namely the registration in the package receipt database (man pkgutil). And with that, you miss an easy (sort of) uninstall option. - Harald

cairo + fat binaries on osx
by Jeremy Huddleston 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I noticed you're working on the quartz backend for cairo. I'm maintaining X11 for Apple and am looking into including the X11 cairo backend in the next community release of X11. As it is, cairo has compile-time tests for endianness which are based on the values set by configure. This makes fat binaries built via '- arch i386 -arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch x86_64' broken for the "other" architecture family. I'm using the following patch to address this, but I'd like to pass it to you first to make sure there isn't some adverse effect wrt the quartz backend that I don't see. If it looks fine to you, could you please commit it? Thanks, Jeremy
