XQuartz 2.7.2_rc1
by Jeremy Huddleston 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hi everyone, After multiple betas testing a ton of updates, 2.7.2 finally has a release candidate build. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.2 You can see all the details on the release notes page, but here are some highlights: * many X.org modules updated with minor fixes (X11R7.7 RC1) * mesa was updated to 8.0.2 with some crash fixes * freeglut replaces MesaGLUT * multiple CVEs addressed in libpng and freetype * cairo was updated to 1.12.0 * libxcb was update to 1.8.1 * xorg-server is now on the 1.12 branch * The Xorg DDX is included for development purposes or expert users * Support for smooth scrolling * Our input drivers now report both absolute and relative motion (to address an issue in wine) * The installer package and installed binaries are now signed with XQuartz's DeveloperID Certificate Please give this release a whirl. I am especially interested in any issues related to scrolling behavior that may have occurred as part of the smooth scrolling effort. If you have any issues with mouse wheel scrolling, please discuss them here or in http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/562. Thanks, Jeremy

Building mesa
by Jonas Maebe 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, I'm trying to build mesa (libGL.1.dylib) with debug info to be able to debug http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/512 . As an aside, valgrind is also an excellent debugging tool for getting to the bottom of such issues. Anyway, my first problem was figuring out where mesa's git repository was :) After a while, I found git://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/mesa I then configured mesa using export ACLOCAL="aclocal -I /opt/X11/share/aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/X11/share/pkgconfig:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig" export CFLAGS="-Wall -O0 -ggdb3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -pipe" export LDFLAGS=$CFLAGS export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS ./configure --with-gallium-drivers= --prefix=/opt/X11 --disable-egl (well, I figured out the configure line by trial and error) Next, when building it I got an error about python not having libxml2 support. I solved that by downloading the libxml2 2.7.3 sources, building/installing them using (based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/3525294 ) ./configure --with-python=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/ make sudo make install and then going in the python subdirectory of the libxml2 sources and executing "python setup.py install" (ignoring the error it gave about being unable to overwrite /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/libxml2mod.so -- which is probably a good thing, since I didn't manage to build it universal). The next problem was several complains about the linker not supporting the --start-group and --end-group parameters. From what I saw in scons/gallium.py, those parameters should normally be skipped for darwin, but that apparently that did not happen. "Solution": find . -name Makefile | while read file; do sed -e 's/-Wl,--start-group//g' -e 's/-Wl,--end-group//g' < $file > $file.new; mv $file.new $file; done Now I'm getting a bunch of errors I can't solve though: ... gcc -c -I../../../../include -I../../../../src/mapi -I../../../../src/mesa -I../../../../src/mesa/main -I/opt/X11/include -Wall -O0 -ggdb3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -std=c99 -ffast-math -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -O0 -ggdb3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -pipe -fno-common -DHAVE_POSIX_MEMALIGN -DUSE_XSHM -fvisibility=hidden xm_tri.c -o xm_tri.o mklib: Making Darwin shared library: libGL.1.dylib Undefined symbols: "ir_instruction::print() const", referenced from: print_program(prog_instruction*, ir_instruction**, int) in libmesa.a(ir_to_mesa.o) "glsl_type::vec4_type", referenced from: __ZN9glsl_type9vec4_typeE$non_lazy_ptr in libmesa.a(ir_to_mesa.o) (maybe you meant: __ZN9glsl_type9vec4_typeE$non_lazy_ptr) "ir_hierarchical_visitor::visit_enter(ir_dereference_record*)", referenced from: vtable for get_sampler_namein libmesa.a(sampler.o) "ir_hierarchical_visitor::visit_enter(ir_discard*)", referenced from: vtable for get_sampler_namein libmesa.a(sampler.o) "lower_instructions(exec_list*, unsigned int)", referenced from: __mesa_ir_link_shader in libmesa.a(ir_to_mesa.o) "vtable for ir_if", referenced from: __ZTV5ir_if$non_lazy_ptr in libmesa.a(ir_to_mesa.o) (maybe you meant: __ZTV5ir_if$non_lazy_ptr) ...

XQuartz 2.7.2 beta5
by Jeremy Huddleston 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

XQuartz 2.7.2 beta5 is out now. There aren't too many changes, but I've been seeing a bunch of reports of the gimp crash, so I wanted to get this out rather than sitting on that fix for another week. * Inkscape and Gimp no longer crash the server * The installer is now signed * Executables are now signed with XQuartz's DeveloperID I expect that the next release will be a release candidate. The only blocker that I'm aware of at this point is addressing some bad scrolling behavior with some older mice (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/562) This may just end up being a preference since the solution will probably be reverting to the older behavior which was a gross hack =/ http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.2 --Jeremy

Latest beta (XQuartz 2.7.2_beta4) crashes with Inkscape (stable and trunk)
by ~suv 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hi, recently we got a bug report for Inkscape 0.48.2 on OS X 10.7.2 (X11 crashes when clicking on Inkscape's canvas area) which seems to be triggered by changes in the latest XQuartz beta release for 2.7.2: Bug #972914 "[OS X] Crash when clicking inside drawing area" <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/972914> Inkscape's console message: > inkscape-bin: Fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server /tmp/launch-JR8gbQ/org.macosforge.xquartz:0. and from the X11.bin crash report: > Thread 3 Crashed: > 0 X11.bin 0x00000001000c747e ActivateKeyboardGrab + 104 > 1 X11.bin 0x00000001000ccb52 GrabDevice + 718 > 2 X11.bin 0x00000001000849d3 ProcXGrabDevice + 258 > 3 X11.bin 0x00000001000be4d2 Dispatch + 257 > 4 X11.bin 0x00000001000275be dix_main + 185 > 5 X11.bin 0x0000000100011f4f server_thread + 38 > 6 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff939008bf _pthread_start + 335 > 7 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff93903b75 thread_start + 13 Full crash report for X11.bin: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/972914/+attachment/2999102/+files/…> I have been able to reproduce the crash (temporarily upgraded to XQuartz 2.7.2 beta4 on OS X 10.7.2) with Inkscape 0.48.2 installed via (up-to-date) MacPorts as well as current trunk builds (Inkscape 0.48+devel r11155) - to make sure it is not related to conflicts with older library versions included in the official package (July 2011). Reverting to stable XQuartz 2.7.1 solves the issue and Inkscape (stable and trunk) works again as expected. Any feedback on this (possibly known (?)) conflict with XQuartz 2.7.2 beta4 would be highly appreciated. Thanks, ~suv

Re: [Xquartz-dev] I can't open a ticket

Bill, thanks! one problem for me was to get from "(?i)click.in'" to = the phrase used in my text "click in". It looked like a string from my attached files - which I could not find in it. May be just change the way how the error message is displayed - or be specific and add the section, where the phrase is found, or highlight it in the text? best Christof -- public key www.hfph.mwn.de/~chwolf/ch.wolf.asc Please respect my privacy and do not make my contact information available to third parties.

Several nagging problems in recent Xquartz versions…
by SciFi 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi, I'm having a few nagging problems with Xquartz, many versions of late, including 2.6.3_rc2 (current as I type/send this note). 1. Whenever I hot-plug a 2nd monitor into the mini-DVI port, all Xquartz windows instantly want to get shoved-over to that monitor. I must move my mouse-pointer over to that monitor and drag-back all those windows to main screen (the one marked by the desktop bar in Display Prefs). I do not use, nor have anything configured for, Spaces and/or Exposé etc., and I've tried various Xquartz Prefs to no avail. Display Prefs is configured as an additional separate 2nd-screen, no 'mirroring' involved. 2. I did file a report on my semi-stuck 'h' key, but I am presently unable to find it to update more tests. In short, I have tried _several_ keyboards, of various kinds, even an Apple Wireless (old style), and one expressly designed for M$-Windows "multimedia" apps made by Micro-Innovations, model KB565BL. I've even tried to adjust the Keyboard Prefs to slow-down repeated keys etc. to no avail. Nevertheless, I *will* eventually get a stuck-'h' key that self-repeats until I hit it a few more times. Remember that it is only the apps running under Xquartz (including even xterm) that is doing this, none of the regular OSX apps have this problem. So this does not indicate a hardware problem to me -- it indicates we have a very weird software interplay causing it, and I'm totally unsure where to ask for more help other than this list and/or bug-reports. To wit, this *does* drive me crazy at times, because 'h' is a letter that is very-often used, esp'ly for displaying Headers under Pan (a very famous gtk+/glib newsreader app). 3. The massive update included in the 2.6.1 version of Xquartz, and continuing now with 2.6.3_rc2, has caused marked visual problems with various text. I've written up a report, and attached a PNG to show a few of the problems, here: <https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/pan-users/2011-05/msg00019.html> I was hoping to get some indication on what-all I should update in the glib/gtk+ train of requisites. No one has helped there, so I now bring this problem to this list where the X11 gizmos were bothered-with in the first place. ;) FWIW I do not see this problem in the xterm window, it seems to be only in the glib/gtk+ apps. And yes 2.6.0-and-before I believe do not cause this problem. (More is explained in the linked-to report.) 4. I did open a newish bug-report to cover a simple fix when GNU 'mktemp' ends-up being used rather than the BSD 'mktemp'. This is bug #490 in the Xquartz tracker. 5. Please do not ask me to use a pkg-mgr like Fink or Macports etc. If any src-tarball won't work right "out of the box", then we need to study & fix things in the usual *ix manners, rather than covering-it-up. ;) 6. Personally, I am medically disabled / retired with 38+years work on record. My professional life was mainly in a big IBM mainframe shop doing systems-level work (not the app-level programming). I do open-src projects now as a hobby to keep my brain sharp. ;) All this is on a model iMac6,1 C2D machine with 4GB RAM (maxed-out), running 10.6.8 and all official updates so far. I have no kind of ~/.x* contraptions at all, so nothing should be bothering the Xquartz defaults etc. I try to keep watch on tons of projects via Gmane, a main reason I use Pan (where we're testing several new enhancements to it), and will attempt to follow any help with these problems. Thank you for reading.

XQuartz 2.7.2 beta4
by Jeremy Huddleston 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

I think this will be the last beta before the release candidates startup. Beta4 includes some nice improvements over beta3 including: * Tablets should now be clicking on the correct location * xinput improvements including * workaround a wine bug for some common FPS games * sub-pixel resolution of valuators * smooth scrolling (requires client support of Xi 2.1) In addition, I've pulled in miscellaneous version bumps of modules, most notably cairo-1.12.0 Please give this one a beating. I think it's fairly solid. Thanks, Jeremy http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.2 http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.2_beta4.dmg
