[Chimera-users] mac OS / Leopard

[Grant Jacobs]

Tom & Mark,

Tom, I'm sure you are already aware, but just in case you're not: the 
build for X11 has changed in Mac OS X Leopard to one based on X.org 
from an XFree-based effort. There are a number of issues with this at 
present that are being discussed in Apple's X11 mailing list (Mark's 
post has a link to this). They are also informally releasing patches 
there, but I believe the current patch doesn't address the issue 
Marks refers to.


Mark, You could "unwind" back to the X11 used in Tiger--there are 
instructions on how to do this on the X11 mailing list. Some might 
argue you're better to wait for updates to the new version--? As for 
me, I'm staying with Tiger until the X11 issues are resolved as my 
work on my current contract needs it to be behaving!
