XQuartz 2.7.4_beta1
by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 01 Sep '12

01 Sep '12

2.7.3 is done. It's time to start thinking about 2.7.4. I hope that this will be another relatively quick release cycle to bring us up to the new X.org server release branch (1.13). 2.7.4_beta1 is ready for download. The only differences between it an 2.7.3 are newer versions of fontconfig (2.10.1) and xorg-server (1.13 RC5). Please give it a whirl and let me know if you see any issues (especially any regressions). Thanks, Jeremy http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.4_beta1.dmg

10.8 issue with non-standard code
by doh123 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

I'm just looking for a bit of help, plus a suggestion (this "feature" I add should be put in XQuartz) I add something to my custom build (WineskinX11) thats very minor thats not normally in XQuartz, but you should really add it. My problem is that the current way I have it working, it has always worked fine in 10.6 and 10.7, but fails in 10.8... What I have added is to make Cmd+Opt+A be able to toggle back to captured fullscreen. Normally in XQuartz if you want to multitask in a locked fullscreen its a major pain, but you can Cmd+Opt+A to get out of fullscreen mode.... but then often your stuck not being able to get back into it. What I did to change the code was basically make it so Cmd+Opt+A wasn't disabled in Rootless mode, and in quartzRandR.c added in a variable... QuartzModeInfo wsLastUsedMode; then down in QuartzRandRToggleFullscreen(void) When it toggles to rootless on the Cmd+Opt+A key combo I added a line... wsLastUsedMode = pQuartzScreen->currentMode; Added in right before it calls QuartzRandRSetFakeRootless() In the code there if it was already in Rootless it normally just say that its ignoring a change because its in rootless, but I changed that to run... QuartzRandRSetMode(pScreen, &wsLastUsedMode, TRUE); This has worked fine for a long time.. on 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7... but on 10.8 its a different story. Cmd+Opt+A out of captured fullscreen works ok, but going back in... if its not having to change resolutions (like 1280x800 desktop and 1280x800 fullscreen) it occasionally works... but if the fullscreen was any lower res, the X server always crashes... I put a crashlog here... http://pastebin.com/W4uJ6S5b That was a test build Wineskin wrapper of course running a game in Wine and crashed trying to do the changed Cmd+Opt+A back into fullscreen. its xorg-server 1.12.99.905 as you can see in the log, but I've tested with multiple 1.12 versions and some earlier, and it happens in 10.8 on all of them. This build runs fine on 10.6 for me. as a test, I opened an xterm and used xrandr to change back, but it crashes too... so I don't think my code change is causing the crash specifically. Now if I launch a normal XQuartz 2.7.2, and Cmd+Opt+A out and use xrandr to get back to fullscreen it doesn't crash though... so I'm a bit at a loss of why its happening, as I don't have any changes to the code for resolution switching other than this one thing... I used to, but now that RandR and screen capturing is working good in XQuartz, I took all my code out that did that stuff. Any thoughts anyone has would be appreciated, and I really think this would be a useful feature to add to XQuartz anyways, so people can toggle out and back in to the captured fullscreen for multitasking without having to use in game options to adjust resolutions or launch xterm to use xrandr.

by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 19 Aug '12

XQuartz 2.7.3 rc2 is available for download. The main change in this over rc1 is that it contains a fix for the switching spaces bug on Mountain Lion. If there aren't any major issues, this will probably be released as 2.7.3 in about a week, so please give it some testing. Thanks, Jeremy http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.3_rc2.dmg

tcsh and XQuartz
by Michael Goldweber 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Issue: XQuartz only launches bash and not tcsh. Environment: Brand spanking new retina-15" laptop running a fresh install of Mountain Lion. XQuartz 2.7.2 desired shell: tcsh What I've experienced: When running Terminal, tcsh is correctly launched. XQuartz launches (i.e. XTerm) bash. So, evidently the login shell that launches X11 is not being run - the script that looks at what ${SHELL} is set to. I have also created a file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist the contents of this file is: --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>SHELL</key> <string>/bin/tcsh</string> </dict> </plist> --- So, evidently, this is not being read either. Finally, when I manually launch X11 (XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11), things work correctly - xterm comes up with tcsh as my shell. Any suggestions? mike goldweber

XQuartz 2.7.3_rc1 is available for download.

This release candidate should fix all of the known Mountain Lion issues including menu glitches and X11 forwarding. For X11 forwarding, make sure you also have the latest version of XQuartz installed on the remote side if the remote is running Mountain Lion. Thanks for testing, and please let me know about any issues. --Jeremy
