Mac OS X 10.8 no longer includes X-11 as an option. If you need to run software that requires X-11, you have to install XQuartz 2.7.2 or later.

Using X11 in Mountain Lion
This was also the case in 10.7, unless something more has changed in 10.8 regarding this... ---

@macavenger X11 was built into Lion, I never had to install xquartz.

xQuartz is working fine for me in 10.8 for access to the vWorkspace tools. ---

Using X11 in Mountain Lion
If you try to launch an X11 application, the OS automatically directs you to download links for this software.

X11 is simply not installed by default, the first time you use an application that requires X11 the OS will ask you if you want to install it.

I wonder if the reinstall thing is still true. Apple's own support page now says to use XQuartz if you want X11, and says they contributed to the latest version. Maybe that means it will get auto updated along with everything else in the future?
Using X11 in Mountain Lion
Works as described.

Anyone got Gimp working with this? It asks 'Where is X11?'
Using X11 in Mountain Lion
As I said on the other post, simply select XQuartz - after having (re)installed it - in the Utilities folder, relaunch the Gimp, and everything should work again.

Of course: *in the other post*; *a new Gimp build for*; sorry for the typos...

Cheers, worked great!

I do still use X11 frequently.

Is there any benefit to installing X11 through macports instead?
Using X11 in Mountain Lion
This surprised me last week when I upgraded, because no report had mentioned this. However, I can report that so far, it works perfectly on all apps I've tried that relied on X11 (e.g., MATLAB 2012a).
Using X11 in Mountain Lion
BTW, if you upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and already had XQuartz installed, you must reinstall it, from the link above: this will also remove the old X11 app, leaving only XQuartz, as if it were a "clean" Mountain Lion system.

Hello,

@mzp3769: The "window manager" is the Mac OS window manager; the XQuartz display uses the Mac display as the X root window. |
