I've uploaded a new release candidate for 2.3.0. I've been using this for about a week now and feel comfortable enough about it to put it out "in the wild" to let you all mess with it while I move on to the next stage of the startup rewrite. Major changes since 2.3.0-rc2: Pulled in proper xkeyboard-config data instead of xkbdata (this should get Xfake and Xephyr to work without needing the '-kb' command line option) Reverted Xquartz to not use xkb since we don't actually have a quartz keyboard xkb data file (not sure the best way to solve this, I'm going to leave this headache for post-2.3.0) Xquartz now has the capability to add a new $DISPLAY socket after the server is started (rather than only at start). This is needed for the new OSX-friendly startup method that I'm working on. We use this now just within the server itself, but in rc4, I expect the socket will be handed off to the server by the stub. Please test it out and let me know of any regressions. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11-2.3.0_rc3.pkg Note, I consider this fairly stable and regression free at this point, but there are bound to be some issues that arise. Now that I have this out, I'm going to be working on some things that are a bit more fragile, so if you want to balance "works" with "testing", this should be a fairly safe beta for you. Of course, I may end up eating these words later... --Jeremy
