Can you reproduce the issue and provide /var/log/system.log please? On Sep 26, 2012, at 8:24 AM, Angelo Graziosi <Angelo.Graziosi@roma1.infn.it> wrote:
Trying to fix an issue of ROOT, OpenGL and XQuarz 2.6.4 on MacPorts (see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36189#comment:18), I installed XQuarz 2.7.4_rc1 (on Lion 10.7.5 and Xcode 4.5).
When I start an application which needs the X server, for example,
$ xclock &
the new X server does not automatically start. I have to start it manually from Launchpad, and this starts also an xterm application.
After this, if I quit the X11 (Command Q), the X server start automatically for applications requiring it, but after a REBOOT or a BOOT, I have to repeat all the above... :-(
With XQuarz 2.6.4 this did not happen, the X server started automatically each time an application require it..
Searching on the web seems I have all things right:
$ echo $DISPLAY /tmp/launch-weY6cP/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist org.macosforge.xquartz.startx: Already loaded
BTW, 2.7.4_rc1 seems to fix the ROOT issue...
Ciao, Angelo.
