[Xquartz-dev] What's the incantation for using xscope with 2.5.0?

[Jeremy Huddleston]

xscope doesn't use Xlib.  You need to just tell it what the "traditional" display is.  Your best bet is just checking 'ps x' to see the arguments to /opt/X11/bin/X :

jeremy   12366   0.0  0.0  2446148    848   ??  S     1:53PM   0:00.00 /opt/X11/bin/X :5 -dpi 96

Then use that to start xscope:

/opt/X11/bin/xscope -i12 -o5

Somewhere else, run:

DISPLAY=:12 xinput test pointer

---

That being said, it looks like /opt/X11/bin/xscope gets hung up somewhere... I'm not sure why, but building from git and disabling USE_XTRANS in the generated Makefile gets us a usable xscope.
